SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 15 Text 10

utkramantam sthitam vapi
bhunjanam va gunanvitam
vimudha nanupasyanti
pasyantijnana-caksusah

utkramantam--quitting the body; sthitam--situated in the body; va api--either; bhunjanam--enjoying; va--or; guna-anvitam--under the spell of the modes of material nature; vimnudhah--foolish persons; na--never; anupasyanti--can see; pasyanti--can see; jnana-caksusah--those who have the eyes of knowledge.

TRANSLATION

The foolish cannot understand how a living entity can quit his body, nor can they understand what sort of body he enjoys under the spell of the modes of nature. But one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can see all this.

JOURNAL:

How the modes of material nature effect the body and our enjoyment was discussed in the the last chapter of the Gita.
