कथं विद्यामहं योगिंस्त्वां सदा परिचिन्तयन् | केषु केषु च भावेषु चिन्त्योऽसि भगवन्मया
kathaṃ vidyāmahaṃ yogiṃstvāṃ sadā paricintayan . keṣu keṣu ca bhāveṣu cintyo.asi bhagavanmayā
Ô Yogi, comment pourrai-je Te connaître en méditant constamment sur Toi ? Et dans quels aspects, ô Bhagavan, dois-je Te contempler ?
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 interroge Krishna, le grand Yogi, sur la manière de Le connaître et de Le contempler continuellement. Il demande des indications précises sur les formes ou les manifestations spécifiques à travers lesquelles il pourrait méditer sur le Seigneur, même en observant les objets du monde extérieur, afin de percevoir l'unité partout.
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.
