O sinless one, this most secret scripture has thus been uttered by Me. Understanding this, one becomes wise and has his duties fulfilled, O scion of the Bharata dynasty.
हे निष्पाप भारत ! इस प्रकार यह गुह्यतम शास्त्र मेरे द्वारा कहा गया, इसको जानकर मनुष्य बुद्धिमान और कृतकृत्य हो जाता है।।
Guhyatamam Most profound secret.Buddhiman means here a knower of the Self or Atmart.The knowledge of the Self which gives emancipation from the round of birth and death? and freedom from the bonds of Karma is eulogised in this verse. If this most profound teaching is rightly understood? known or realised? it makes a man wise and gives him illumination. After this there is nothing left for him to know or strive for. He has reached the goal of life or the aim of human existence. He has arrived at the end of his journey. His endeavour for Selfrealisation is over. He has attained perfection. He has complete knowledge of the Supreme Being. He gets Brahma Jnana. He moves in the consciousness of the Divine. He beholds the Self everywhere. He lives in Brahman. He regards all activities as His divine play.When one realises Brahman? he has discharged all the duties of life. He is liberated from the bonds of Karma. He becomes a Jivanmukta or illumined sage who has transcended the bodyconsciousness? the three alities of Nature? the three states of consciousness (wakeful state? dream and deep sleep)? the pairs of opposites and the cycle of birth and death. He knows fully well that rirth has been destroyed? that what has to be done has been accomplished? that lifes highest goal has been reached and that he has nothing more to do or to learn. He has understood the profound mystery of life -- the riddle of this universe. He is a Sarvavit or allknower.The whole of the Gita is called science? yet the fifteenth discourse alone is here declared as the science for the sake of eulogising it. The fifteenth discourse contains the intessence of the Gita? the Upanishads and the Vedas. This is the butter churned from the milk of the Vedas. It has been said that? He who knows the peepul tree knows the Veda (XV.1). The Lord has also said? It is I Who am to be known by all the Vedas (XV.15). Only when a man knows this science as taught above does he become wise -- but not otherwise. Whatever duty a Brahmana of the highest birth has to do? all that has been doen when one attains the knowledge of the Self. All actions in their entirety culminate in knowledge (IV.33). This is the fulfilment of the birth? particularly of a Brahmana because the twicorn accomplishes all his duties only by attaining to this? but not otherwise? says Manu Smriti.As you have heard from Me this truth about the Supreme Being? you are a happy man and you have done all your duties you have attained Selfrealistion.By using the words Anagha and Bharata? Lord Krishna hints that even when an ordinary man who knows this fifteenth discourse can attain knowledge of the Self and become a Kritakritya? then what to say of Arjuna who was sinless and who was born in a noble family with divine attributes The Lord? by using the word Anagha? also indicates that the Guru who is a knower of Brahman should instruct the most profound secret (the science of the Self) only to alified persons who are free from impurities of the heart or tossing of the mind? who are calm and endowed with the four means of salvation. The man of impure mind will not be able to grasp the truth. The sinful man with his perverted intellect will distort the truth and thus pave the way for the destruction of himself and his followers.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 fifteenth discourse entitledThe Yoga of the Supreme Spirit. ,,
प्रस्तुत अध्याय के इस अन्तिम श्लोक में भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं कि उन्होंने अर्जुन को गुह्यतम ज्ञान का उपदेश दिया है। इस ज्ञान को गुह्य या रहस्य इस दृष्टि से नहीं कहा गया है कि इसका उपदेश किसी को नहीं देना चाहिये अभिप्राय यह है कि परमात्मा इन्द्रिय अगोचर होने के कारण कोई भी व्यक्ति प्रत्यक्ष और अनुमान प्रमाणों के द्वारा उसे अपनी बुद्धि से नहीं जान सकता है। अत वह उसके लिये रहस्य ही बना रहेगा। केवल एक शास्त्रज्ञ और आत्मानुभवी आचार्य के उपदेश से ही परमात्मज्ञान हो सकता है।हे निष्पाप वह कर्म? भावना या विचार? पाप कहलाता है? जिसको करने पर कालान्तर में हमारे मन में विक्षेप? पश्चाताप तथा आत्मग्लानि उत्पन्न होती है। इन के होने पर अन्तकरण में आत्मविचार करने के लिये आवश्यक सूक्ष्मता और सजगता नहीं रहती। अत इस सन्दर्भ में अर्जुन को निष्पाप कहकर संबोधित करना यह दर्शाता है कि वह आत्मज्ञान के योग्य है।अपने पुरुषोत्तम स्वरूप को जानने वाला पुरुष बुद्धिमान् बन जाता है। इसका अर्थ यह है कि इस ज्ञान के पश्चात् वह जीवन में वस्तुओं के यथार्थ स्वरूप को समझने में और कर्म से संबंधित निर्णय लेने में त्रुटि नहीं करता है। फलस्वरूप वह न स्वयं के लिये भ्रम और दुख उत्पन्न करता है और न ही समाज के अन्य व्यक्तियों के लिये।परमात्मा के ज्ञान का फल है कृतकृत्यता। मन में पूर्ण सन्तोष का वह भाव? जो जीवन के लक्ष्य को प्राप्त कर लेने पर उदय होता है? कृतकृत्यता कहलाता है। तत्पश्चात् उस व्यक्ति के लिये न कोई प्राप्तव्य शेष रहता है और न कोई कर्तव्य। यह श्लोक उत्तम अधिकारियों को आत्मज्ञान के इस श्रेष्ठ फल का आश्वासन देता है।conclusion तत्सदिति श्रीमद्भगवद्गीतासूपनिषत्सु ब्रह्मविद्यायां योगशास्त्रेश्रीकृष्णार्जुनसंवादे पुरुषोत्तमयोगो नाम पञ्चदशोऽध्याय।।
