सिद्धिं प्राप्तो यथा ब्रह्म तथाप्नोति निबोध मे | समासेनैव कौन्तेय निष्ठा ज्ञानस्य या परा
siddhiṃ prāpto yathā brahma tathāpnoti nibodha me . samāsenaiva kaunteya niṣṭhā jñānasya yā parā
Comprends de Moi, en bref, ô fils de Kunti, comment celui qui a atteint la perfection parvient au Brahman, qui est la suprême culmination de la connaissance.
Understand for certain from Me, in brief indeed, O son of Kunti, that process by which one who has achieved success attains Brahman, which is the supreme consummation of Knowledge.
Ce verset introduit l'explication du processus par lequel un aspirant, ayant atteint la perfection par l'accomplissement de son devoir, peut réaliser le Brahman. Cette réalisation est le fruit de la `Jnana-Nishtha`, la dévotion à la connaissance, qui mène à l'identification avec l'Être Suprême. Lorsque le voile de l'ignorance est levé, le dualisme et l'égoïsme disparaissent, et l'individu atteint un état de plénitude où il n'y a plus rien à faire. Le Seigneur, par Sa grâce, accorde le discernement et la dévotion à la connaissance, dissipant l'obscurité de l'ignorance par la lumière de la sagesse.
When a man has the good fortune to hear the words of wisdom from a teacher? dualism and egoism vanish and his mind rests in union with the Supreme Being. The need for action no longer exists for such a man. Nothing further remains for him to do. He has become a Kritakritya (a man of total fulfilment? or one who has done all that there is to be done).The aspirant obtains the grace of the Lord by worshipping Hims with his proper duty. The Lord gives him dispassion? discrimination? devotion to knowledge. The Lord removes his veil of ignorance. To these ever harmonious? worshipping in love? I give the Yoga of discrimination by which they come unto Me. Out of My mere compassion for them? I? dwelling within their Self? destroy the darkness born of ignorance by the luminous lamp of knowledge. (X.10and11)The perfection is JnanaNishtha or devotion to knowledge by which he attains Selfrealisation or becomes identical with the Supreme Being when the veil of ignorance is rent asunder. The way to the attainment of this devotion to knowledge will be described only in a succint manner. The process or method of Selfrealisation will be described only in brief in the following verses.The actual technie has to be learnt direct from a Guna.
