Lessons from Bhagavadgita - 72

Sri Swamiji's Foreign Tour report

Yah kaala kaalodita jeevaraasheh Kaalotigodaara nijaatma tattvam Sambodhayan khelati kaala kaalam
Tam kaala yonim guru datta meede
(Sri Datta Dhyaana Maalika)

He preaches the Atma Tattva that is Real and timeless, to all beings that have taken birth through ages. It is His Leela (sport). Because those beings also become Kaalaateeta (transcending time), He is the Yama (god of death) of Kaala (time) itself. Because He is Himself the Kaalaateeta Paratattva (timeless principle), He is also the one in whom time itself takes birth. To such Lord Dattatreya I offer my prostration.
