Bhagavad Gita 7.1

Sanskrit

श्रीभगवानुवाच | मय्यासक्तमनाः पार्थ योगं युञ्जन्मदाश्रयः | असंशयं समग्रं मां यथा ज्ञास्यसि तच्छृणु

Transliteration

śrībhagavānuvāca . mayyāsaktamanāḥ pārtha yogaṃ yuñjanmadāśrayaḥ . asaṃśayaṃ samagraṃ māṃ yathā jñāsyasi tacchṛṇu

English

The Blessed Lord said O Partha, hear how you, having the mind fixed on Me, practising the Yoga of Meditation and taking refuge in Me, will know Me with certainly and in fulness.

हिन्दी

हे पार्थ ! मुझमें असक्त हुए मन वाले तथा मदाश्रित होकर योग का अभ्यास करते हुए जिस प्रकार तुम मुझे समग्ररूप से, बिना किसी संशय के, जानोगे वह सुनो।।

Explanation — English

He who wishes to attain some result or reward performs the ritual known as Agnihotra or does charity? sinks wells? builds hospitals? resting places? etc.? with Sakama Bhavana (with an inner profit motive) and attains them. But the Yogi on the contrary practises Yoga with a steadfast mind and takes refuge in the Lord alone? with the mind wholly fixed on Him? on His lofty attributes such as omnipotence? omniscience? omnipresence? infinite love? beauty? grace? strength? mercy? inexhaustible wealth? ineffable splendour? pristine glory and purity.The servant of a king? though he constantly serves the king? has not got his mind fixed on him. The mind is ever fixed on his wife and children. Unlike the servant? fix your mind on Me? (the allpervading One)? and take refuge in Me alone. Practise control of the mind in accordance with the instructions given in chapter VI. Then you will know Me and My infinite attributes in full.If you sing the glory and the attributes of the Lord? you will develop love for Him and then your mind will be fixed on Him. Intense love for the Lord is real devotion. You must get full knowledge of the Self without any doubt.He who has taken refuge in the Lord? and he who is trying to fix or has fixed his mind on the Lord cannot bear the separation from the Lord even for a second.

Explanation — हिन्दी

ध्यानाभ्यास का आरम्भ करने के पूर्व साधक जब तक केवल बौद्धिक स्तर पर ही वेदान्त का विचार करता है जैसा कि प्रारम्भ में होना स्वाभाविक है तब तक उसके मन में प्रश्न उठता रहता है कि परिच्छिन्न मन के द्वारा अनन्तस्वरूप सत्य का साक्षात्कार किस प्रकार किया जा सकता है यह प्रश्न सभी जिज्ञासुओं के मन में आता है और इसीलिए वेदान्तशास्त्र इस विषय का विस्तार से वर्णन करता है कि किस प्रकार ध्यान की प्रक्रिया से मन अपनी ही परिच्छिन्नताओं से ऊपर उठकर अपने अनन्तस्वरूप का अनुभव करता है।इस षडाध्यायी के विवेच्य विषय की प्रस्तावना करते हुए श्रीकृष्ण अर्जुन को वचन देते हैं कि वे आत्मसाक्षात्कार के सिद्धान्त एवं उपायों का समग्रत वर्णन करेंगे जिससे यह स्पष्ट हो जायेगा कि किस प्रकार सुसंगठित मन के द्वारा आत्मस्वरूप का ध्यान करने से आत्मा की अपरोक्षानुभूति होती है। ध्यान के सन्दर्भ में मन शब्द का प्रयोग होने पर उससे शुद्ध एवं एकाग्र मन का ही अभिप्राय है न कि अशक्त तथा विखण्डित मन। अनुशासित और असंगठित मन जब अपने स्वरूप में समाहित होता है तब साधक का विकास तीव्र गति से होता है। इस प्रकरण कै विषय है आन्तरिक विकास का युक्तियुक्त विवेचन।श्रीभगवान् कहते हैं

7.2I shall tell you in detail of this Knowledge which is combined with realization, [From the statement, 'jnasyasi, you will know', in the earlier verse, one may conclude that the Lord is speaking of indirect or theoretical knowledge. The word 'idam, this' rules out such a conclusion; and it has also been said that this Knowledge is 'savijnanam, combined with direct experienece, realization'; it is Consciousness.] after experience which there remains nothing else here to be known again.7.3Among thousands of men a rare one endeavours for perfection. Even of the perfected ones who are diligent, one perchance knows Me in truth.7.4This Prakrti of Mine is divided eight-fold thus: earth, water, fire, air, space, mind, intellect and also egoism.7.5O mighty-armed one, this is the inferior (Prakrti). Know the other Prakrti of Mine which, however, is higher than this, which has taken the from of individual souls, and by which this world is uphelp.7.6Understand thus that all things (sentient and insentient) have these as their source. I am the origin as also the end of the whole Universe.7.7O Dhananjaya, there is nothing else whatsoever higher than Myself. All this is strung on Me like pearls on a string.7.8O son of Kunti, I am the taste of water, I am the effulgence of the moon and the sun; (the letter) Om in all the Vedas, the sound in space, and manhood in men.7.9I am also the sweet fragrance in the earth; I am the brillinace in the fire, and the life in all beings; and I am the austerity of the ascetics.7.10O Partha, know Me to be the eternal Seed of all beings. I am the intellect of the intelligent, I am the courage of the courageous.7.11And of the strong I am the strength which is devoid of passion and attachment. Among creatures I am desire which is not contrary to righteousness, O scion of the Bharata dyansty.
