Gita hapter 15
Key Point:
Lord is the basis of everyhing, everything originates from Him, He is beyond what we see, He illuminates everything, what we see is perishable, Lord is imperishable, He could be realized by those Pure hearted Gyanis who are free of ego, attachment, desires and who are free from the duality of love-hatred, hot-cold etc. once seeker has come to His abode than he is freed from this cycle of birth and death.
Simile of a tree is used to describe this creation. Lord being the root of this tree. Everything including Brahma springs from Him. The interaction of Jivatma and three gunas of Prakriti along with the senses, mind etc creates this ongoing play that we call the Tree of the world. The Jivatma stays bound by this never ending cycle. The ignorant ones who do not see this, keep going back and forth between birth and death. Only the ones with the qualities described above are able to see this play with the help of this wisdom.
Even though Jivatma is considered immortal but Lord is beyond that Jivatma as well. Knowing Jivatma is not good enough. One has to know The One that is not only beyond the apparent physical structure or body, but the one which is beyond Jivatma as well. He is the source of all knowledge, He is before and after everything perishable and imperishable, He is the light of the Sun and Moon, He is the sustainer of all living entities, He is the One who just IS ! ( has been, is and will be, He is not subject to the definition of past, present and future ).
Such a One who is beyond Sharira and Jivatma has been called Parameshvar, Paramatma and Purushottam. He is the One that should be known. Once He is known and realized than there is no more any birth or death.
