भोक्तारं यज्ञतपसां सर्वलोकमहेश्वरम् | सुहृदं सर्वभूतानां ज्ञात्वा मां शान्तिमृच्छति
bhoktāraṃ yajñatapasāṃ sarvalokamaheśvaram . suhṛdaṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ jñātvā māṃ śāntimṛcchati
Celui qui Me connaît comme le Bénéficiaire des sacrifices et des austérités, le grand Seigneur de tous les mondes, et l'Ami bienveillant de toutes les créatures, atteint la paix.
One attains Peace by knowing Me who, as the great Lord of all the worlds, am the enjoyer of sacrifices and austerities, (and) who am the friend of all creatures.
Ce verset révèle la nature suprême de Krishna (le Seigneur) comme l'ultime récepteur de toutes les actions pieuses et le souverain de l'univers. En comprenant que le Divin est le bienfaiteur désintéressé et l'ami de tous les êtres, l'individu se libère de l'attachement aux résultats de ses actions et trouve une paix intérieure durable, menant à la libération (moksha).
I am the Lord of all sacrifices and austerities. I am their author? goal and their God. I am the friend of all beings? the doer of good to them without expecting any return for it. I am the dispenser of the fruits of all actions and the silent witness of their minds? thoughts and actions as I dwell in their hearts. On knowing Me? they attain peace and liberation or Moksha (deliverance from the round of birth and death and all worldly miseries and sorrows). (Cf.V.15IX.24)Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita? the science of the Eternal? the scripture of Yoga? the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna? ends the fifth discourse entitledThe Yoga of Renunciation of Action.
