Episode notes
Perspective and Change
- Perspective influences our perception of change.
- From a higher perspective, like astronauts viewing Earth, fundamental realities remain constant, while ground-level perspectives reveal dramatic shifts.
Immortality and Change
- Our existence is permanent, but its state is constantly changing.
- Krishna uses this to explain to Arjuna that the souls of those he grieves are unchanging.
Nature of Death
- Death is the cessation of the body, not the life within it.
- Both the Gita and Torah support this concept, highlighting the continuation of life beyond the physical form.
