तत्तु कालस्य दीर्घत्वात्स्त्रीत्वान्मातुस्तिरोदधे । ऋषिणानुगृहीतं मां नाधुनाप्यजहात्स्मृतिः ।। ७-७-१६ ।।

sanskrit

Because of the long duration of time that has passed and because of her being a woman and therefore less intelligent, my mother has forgotten all those instructions; but the great sage Nārada blessed me, and therefore I could not forget them. ।। 7-7-16 ।।

sanskrit

Prahlāda Mahārāja continued: My dear friends, if you can place your faith in my words, simply by that faith you can also understand transcendental knowledge, just like me, although you are small children. Similarly, a woman can also understand transcendental knowledge and know what is spirit and what is matter. ।। 7-7-17 ।।

जन्माद्याः षडिमे भावा दृष्टा देहस्य नात्मनः । फलानामिव वृक्षस्य कालेनेश्वरमूर्तिना ।। ७-७-१८ ।।

sanskrit

Just as the fruits and flowers of a tree in due course of time undergo six changes — birth, existence, growth, transformation, dwindling and then death — the material body, which is obtained by the spirit soul under different circumstances, undergoes similar changes. However, there are no such changes for the spirit soul. ।। 7-7-18 ।।

आत्मा नित्योऽव्ययः शुद्ध एकः क्षेत्रज्ञ आश्रयः । अविक्रियः स्वदृग् हेतुर्व्यापकोऽसङ्ग्यनावृतः ।। ७-७-१९ ।।

sanskrit

“Ātmā” refers to the Supreme Lord or the living entities. Both of them are spiritual, free from birth and death, free from deterioration and free from material contamination. They are individual, they are the knowers of the external body, and they are the foundation or shelter of everything. They are free from material change, they are self-illuminated, they are the cause of all causes, and they are all-pervading. ।। 7-7-19 ।।

एतैर्द्वादशभिर्विद्वानात्मनो लक्षणैः परैः । अहं ममेत्यसद्भावं देहादौ मोहजं त्यजेत् ।। ७-७-२० ।।

sanskrit

They have nothing to do with the material body, and therefore they are always uncovered. With these transcendental qualities, one who is actually learned must give up the illusory conception of life, in which one thinks, “I am this material body, and everything in relationship with this body is mine.”_____"1. Without the support of the soul, the existence of the physical body is not possible." 2. "As mentioned earlier, just like trees bear fruits and flowers, remain, grow, transform, diminish, and eventually perish according to the changing seasons, yet they remain essentially the same. Similarly, the soul is free from all changes." 3. "There is no need to reveal the soul; it manifests itself. Humans can comprehend with simplicity that the living body contains the soul."______ ।। 7-7-20 ।।
