Bhagavad Gita 15.3
न रूपमस्येह तथोपलभ्यते नान्तो न चादिर्न च संप्रतिष्ठा।अश्वत्थमेनं सुविरूढमूल मसङ्गशस्त्रेण दृढेन छित्त्वा॥
na rūpamasyeha tathopalabhyate nānto na cādirna ca saṃpratiṣṭhā |aśvatthamenaṃ suvirūḍhamūla masaṅgaśastreṇa dṛḍhena chittvā ||
Its form is not perceived here as such, nor its end, origin, foundation, or resting place; having cut asunder this firmly rooted peepul tree with the strong axe of non-attachment.
In this world, its true form is not known, neither its origin nor its end, and its strength is not understood—until the tree, with its roots striking deep into the earth, is hewn down by the sharp axe of non-attachment.
Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
