Bhagavad Gita 7.13

English
Sanskrit
Hindi
Sanskrit

त्रिभिर्गुणमयैर्भावैरेभिः सर्वमिदं जगत् | मोहितं नाभिजानाति मामेभ्यः परमव्ययम्

Transliteration

tribhirguṇamayairbhāvairebhiḥ sarvamidaṃ jagat . mohitaṃ nābhijānāti māmebhyaḥ paramavyayam

English

All this world, deluded as it is by these three things made of the gunas (alities), does not know Me who am transcendental to these and undecaying.

हिन्दी

त्रिगुणों से उत्पन्न इन भावों (विकारों) से सम्पूर्ण जगत् (लोग) मोहित हुआ इन (गुणों) से परे अव्यय स्वरूप मुझे नहीं जानता है।।

Explanation — English

Persons of this world are deluded by the three alities of Nature or Maya. Affection? attachment and infatuated love are all modifications of these alities. On account of delusion created by these three alities they are not able to break the worldly ties and to turn the mind towards the Supreme Soul? the Lord of the three alities.Avyayam Immutable or unchangeable or inexhaustible or imperishable. The Self is of one homogeneous essence. It has not got the six changes or modifications (Shad Bhava Vikaras) which the body has? viz.? existence? birth? growth? modification? decay and death. (Cf.VII.25)

Explanation — हिन्दी

प्रश्न यह है कि यदि त्रिगुणों से परे कोई परम अव्यय तत्त्व है तो सामान्य मनुष्य उसे क्यों नहीं जान पाता है पूर्ण साक्षात्कार न भी सहज हो तब भी कम से कम उसके अस्तित्व के विषय में तो उसे शंका नहीं होनी चाहिए इसका उत्तर इस श्लोक में दिया गया है।त्रिगुणों से उत्पन्न राग द्वेषादि विकारों के कारण मनुष्य अपने दिव्य स्वरूप को भूलकर उपाधियों के साथ तादात्म्य स्थापित करके केवल विषयोपभोग का ही जीवन जीते हैं। स्वाभाविक है कि इस आसक्ति के कारण स्वस्वरूप की ओर इनका ध्यान तक नहीं जाता। एक बार स्तम्भ में प्रेत का आभास होने पर वह स्तम्भ उससे आच्छादित हो जाता है। यह एक तथ्य है कि जब तक यह आभास बना रहता है तब तक स्तम्भ का एक इञ्च भाग भी मोहित व्यक्ति को नहीं दिखाई देता इसी प्रकार माया से उत्पन्न उपाधियों के साथ तादात्म्य के कारण आत्मा को मानो जीवभाव प्राप्त हो जाता है। यह जीव बाह्य जगत् में व्यस्त और आसक्त होकर अपने शुद्ध स्वरूप को पहचानने में स्वयं को असमर्थ पाता है। स्वयं में स्वयं के साथ स्वयं का चल रहा लुकाछिपी का यह खेल विचित्र एवं रहस्यमय है जिसके कारण यह अपने लिए और जगत् के लिए अनन्त दुख और विक्षेप उत्पन्न करता रहता है।अगले श्लोक में इस आवरण शक्ति की परिभाषा का वर्णन किया गया है

7.1The 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.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.
