कथं विद्यामहं योगिंस्त्वां सदा परिचिन्तयन् | केषु केषु च भावेषु चिन्त्योऽसि भगवन्मया
kathaṃ vidyāmahaṃ yogiṃstvāṃ sadā paricintayan . keṣu keṣu ca bhāveṣu cintyo.asi bhagavanmayā
Wie soll ich Dich erkennen, O Yogin, indem ich stets über Dich meditiere? Und in welchen besonderen Aspekten sollst Du von mir, O Bhagavan, gedacht werden?
O Yogi, [Here yoga stands for the results of yoga, viz omniscience, omnipotence, etc.; one possessed of these is a yogi. (See Comm. on 10.7)] how shall I know You by remaining ever-engaged in meditation? And through what objects, O Lord, are You to be meditated on by me?
Arjuna fragt Krishna, wie er Ihn durch ständige Meditation erkennen kann. Er möchte wissen, in welchen spezifischen Manifestationen oder Formen er den Herrn am besten kontemplieren soll, um Seine Einheit überall zu erfahren.
Arjuna says O Lord? how may I know Thee by constant meditation In what aspects art Thou to be thought of by me Even when I think of external objects I can meditate on Thee in Thy particular manifestations in them if I have a detailed knowledge of Thy glories. Therefore deign to tell me? without reserve? of Thy own glories. Then only can I behold oneness everywhere.
