All these are like mirages in a desert


Verse 125 (anAtma nIrUpaNam - delineation of soul and non-soul)
mAyA mAyA kAryam sarvam
mahadAdi dEha paryantam
asad idam anAtmakam tvam
viddhi maru marIcikA kalpam.


GIST
The illusion of this world, and actions arising out of this illusion all, upto the point of our bodies, are all ephemeral. They are not SOUL. Understand them as mirages (marIcikA) in a desert (maru).


ybREMS:
This is a beautiful verse. We remember the transient nature of our bodies only when some friend or relative dies and we per-force enter a grave-yard to mourn.

The Forbes Magazine, The rating Agencies Moody's, Standard and Poor, The Stock Exchanges should understand this.
