भोक्तारं यज्ञतपसां सर्वलोकमहेश्वरम् | सुहृदं सर्वभूतानां ज्ञात्वा मां शान्तिमृच्छति
bhoktāraṃ yajñatapasāṃ sarvalokamaheśvaram . suhṛdaṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ jñātvā māṃ śāntimṛcchati
Man erlangt Frieden, indem man Mich kennt, der Ich der große Herr aller Welten bin, der Genießer von Opfern (Yajna) und Entbehrungen (Tapas), und der Ich der Freund aller Wesen bin.
One attains Peace by knowing Me who, as the great Lord of all the worlds, am the enjoyer of sacrifices and austerities, (and) who am the friend of all creatures.
Dieser Vers offenbart die höchste Wahrheit über Ishvara (Gott). Er lehrt, dass wahrer Frieden und Befreiung durch das Erkennen Krishnas erlangt werden, der sich als der höchste Herr aller Welten, der Empfänger aller Opfer und Entbehrungen sowie als der wohlwollende Freund aller Lebewesen offenbart. Dieses Wissen führt zur Überwindung weltlicher Leiden.
I am the Lord of all sacrifices and austerities. I am their author? goal and their God. I am the friend of all beings? the doer of good to them without expecting any return for it. I am the dispenser of the fruits of all actions and the silent witness of their minds? thoughts and actions as I dwell in their hearts. On knowing Me? they attain peace and liberation or Moksha (deliverance from the round of birth and death and all worldly miseries and sorrows). (Cf.V.15IX.24)Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita? the science of the Eternal? the scripture of Yoga? the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna? ends the fifth discourse entitledThe Yoga of Renunciation of Action.
