Arrange the voices that speak to you

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

There are two people in the world: the perishable and the imperishable. The perishable is all elements, and the one that speaks is called the imperishable.

Shri Purohit Swami

There are two aspects in Nature: the perishable and the imperishable. All life in this world belongs to the former, the unchanging element belongs to the latter.

Swami Adidevananda

There are two kinds of Persons (Purusas) spoken of in the Sastra - the perishable (Ksara) and the imperishable (Aksara). The perishable is all beings and the imperishable is called the unchanging (Kutastha).

Swami Gambirananda

There are these two persons in the world-the mutable and the immutable. The mutable consists of all things; the one existing as Maya is called the immutable.

Swami Sivananda

Two Purushas there are in this world, the perishable and the imperishable. All beings are the perishable, and the Kutastha is called the imperishable.
