Vasamsi Jirnani Yatha Vihayaवासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय
Bhagavad Gita 2.22 teaches a devotional principle from Krishna’s dialogue with Arjuna.
- Bhagavad Gita 2.22
वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि । तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा- न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही ॥
भावार्थ
जैसे मनुष्य पुराने वस्त्र छोड़कर नए वस्त्र धारण करता है, वैसे ही देही पुराने शरीर छोड़कर नए शरीर प्राप्त करता है।
Meaning
As a person leaves worn garments and takes new ones, the embodied self leaves worn bodies and enters new ones.
