 In this material world we find that everything is temporary. It comes into being, stays for some time, produces some by-products, dwindles and then vanishes. That is the law of the material world, whether we use as an example this body, or a piece of fruit or anything. But beyond this temporary world there is another world of which we have information. This world consists of another nature which is Sanatana, eternal. Jiva is also described as Sanatana, eternal, and the Lord is also described as Sanatana in the Eleventh Chapter.

We have an intimate relationship with the Lord, and because we are all qualitatively one—the Sanatana-dhama, or sky, the Sanatana Supreme Personality and the Sanatana living entities—the whole purpose of Bhagavad-Gita is to revive our Sanatana occupation, or Sanatana-dharma, which is the eternal occupation of the living entity. We are temporarily engaged in different activities, but all of these activities can be purified when we give up all these temporary activities and take up the activities which are prescribed by the Supreme Lord. That is called our pure life.
