Bhagavad Gita 13.26

Sanskrit
Hindi
Sanskrit

अन्ये त्वेवमजानन्तः श्रुत्वान्येभ्य उपासते | तेऽपि चातितरन्त्येव मृत्युं श्रुतिपरायणाः

Transliteration

anye tvevamajānantaḥ śrutvānyebhya upāsate . te.api cātitarantyeva mṛtyuṃ śrutiparāyaṇāḥ

English

Others, agian, who do not know thus, take to thinking after hearing from others; they, too, who are devoted to hearing, certainly overcome death.

हिन्दी

परन्तु, अन्य लोग जो स्वयं इस प्रकार न जानते हुए, दूसरों से (आचार्यों से) सुनकर ही उपासना करते हैं, वे श्रुतिपरायण (अर्थात् श्रवण ही जिनके लिए परम साधन है) लोग भी मृत्यु को नि:सन्देह तर जाते हैं।।

Explanation — English

The three paths? viz.? the Yoga of meditation? the Yoga of knowledge? and the Yoga of action to attain the knowledge of the Self were described in the previous verse. In this verse the Yoga of worship is described.Some who are ignorant of the methods described in the previous verse listen to the teachings of the spiritual preceptors regarding this great Truth or the Self with intense and unshakable faith? solely depending upon the authority of others instructions? and through constant remembrance and contemplation of them attain immortality. They are devoted to their preceptor. Some study the books written by realised seers? stick with great faith to the teachings contained therein and live according to them. They also overcome death. Whichever path one follows? one eventually attains the knowledge of the Self and final liberation from birth and death? -- salvation (Moksha). There are several paths to suit aspirants of different temperaments and eipments.Freeing oneself from ignorance with its effects through the knowledge of the Self? is crossing the Samsara or attaining immortality or overcoming death or obtaining release or salvation.

Explanation — हिन्दी

उत्तम और मध्यम अधिकारियों के लिए उपयुक्त मार्गों को बताने के पश्चात् अब मन्द बुद्धि साधकों के लिए गीताचार्य एक उपाय बताते हैं।अन्यों से श्रवण कुछ ऐसे भी लोग होते हैं? जो ध्यान? सांख्य और कर्मयोग इन तीनों में से किसी एक को भी करने में असमर्थ होते हैं। उनके विकास के लिए एकमात्र उपाय यह है कि उनको किसी आचार्य से,पूजा या उपासना के विषय में श्रवण कर तदनुसार ईश्वर की आराधना करनी चाहिए।वे भी मृत्यु को तर जाते हैं जगत् में यह देखा जाता है कि जिनकी बुद्धि मन्द होती है? उनमें श्रद्धा का आधिक्य होता है। अत? यदि ऐसे मन्दबुद्धि साधक श्रद्धापूर्वक उपदिष्ट प्रकार से उपासना करें? तो वे भी इस अनित्य मृत्युरूप संसार को पार करके नित्य तत्त्व का अनुभव कर सकते हैं। देह के अन्त को ही मृत्यु नहीं समझना चाहिए। यह शब्द उसके व्यापक अर्थ में यहाँ प्रयुक्त किया गया है। अनित्य? अनात्म उपाधियों के साथ तादात्म्य करने से हम भी उनके परिवर्तनों से प्रभावित होते रहते हैं। यह परिवर्तन का दुखपूर्ण अनुभव ही मृत्यु कहलाता है। इनसे भिन्न नित्य अविकारी आत्मा को जानना ही मृत्यु को तर जाना है? अर्थात् सभी परिवर्तनों में अविचलित और अप्रभावित रहना है श्री शंकराचार्य कहते हैं कि स्वयं विवेकरहित होते हुए भी केवल परोपदेश के श्रवण से ही यदि ये साधक मोक्ष को प्राप्त होते हैं? तो फिर प्रमाणपूर्वक विचार के प्रति स्वतन्त्र विवेकी साधकों के विषय में कहना ही क्या है कि वे मोक्ष को प्राप्त करते हैं।इन सब साधनों के द्वारा हमें कौन से साध्य का सम्पादन करना है इस पर कहते हैं
