The Gita spoken by the Lord is singular and unique. The more one thinks and contemplates on the Gita, the more mind boggling are its revelations. If man acquires and becomes the Lord of the entire world, if he becomes the ruler of Indra's kingdom, if he gets the entire wealth of Kuber, if he gets the post of Brahmaji, then too his sorrows will not come to an end. However, if he accepts the points that are revealed in the Gita, then his sorrows cannot last, it will end once and for all. His vexation, envy, slamming, turmoil, worries, mourning, fear, etc. and all calamities will come to an end and he will once and for all attain a state where there is nothing remaining to do, to know and to acquire. In other words, a state called "krtakrtagya, gyaatgyaatavya and praaptpraaptavya," because this is the natural state. There is such exceptional glories of the Gita, that one cannot describe. The reason being that the speech cannot reach that description, the mind is limited in contemplating on it, and the intellect is finite in arriving at a decision. However, God's speech is infinite. All the objects born of nature are all limited and finite. Even the intellect which is an activity of Nature cannot describe the Essence which is beyond nature, then what can man describe! Not only that, the intellect cannot know Nature entirely, then how can it know the Essence, which is beyond nature? Just as the pot that is made of clay, cannot even hold all the clay, then how can it hold the sky, the space?
Gita clearly states - "Vasudevah Sarvam" (Gita 7/19) "Everything is only God". Simply accept this point. Even if you cannot see, understand and experience it to be so, then too if with faith and belief, with a firm resolve if you accept God's words, then by God's grace, this point will be automatically understood, on its own.

God says -
"Naasato vidyate bhaavah, Naabhaavo vidyate satah" (Gita 2/16)
"The unreal has no existence, the real never ceases to be." (Gita 2/16).
In these sixteen words, is the entire Vedas, Puranas, and the essence of our scriptures! Real and Unreal, these two have been called "Prakriti" (Nature) and "Purush" (Supreme Personality), "Kshar and Akshar", Body and Indweller, Eternal and Temporary, Perishable and Imperishable etc. In seeing, hearing, understanding, contemplating, in deciding whatever comes to mind, it is all "unreal". That through which is seen, heard, contemplated, it is also "unreal" and the one that is seen, is also unreal. The unreal is non-existent and the real never ceases to be - this means that besides the real essence (the essential reality) GOD, there is nothing else.
It is every one's self-evident experience, that the body and the world that are seen due to our attraction to it, do not remain constant even for a moment. Rather it is perishing every single minute. Just as first we were children. We never left childhood, then too it is gone. In the same way, youth also went away, and old age will also go away, and the body too will go away.
