ಶ್ರೀ ಭಗವಾನುವಾಚ: ಆದರೆ, ನಿನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ದೋಷಾರೋಪಣೆಯ ಗುಣವಿಲ್ಲದ ಕಾರಣ, ನಾನು ನಿನಗೆ ಈ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ರಹಸ್ಯವಾದ ಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ವಿಜ್ಞಾನದೊಂದಿಗೆ (ಅನುಭವದೊಂದಿಗೆ) ಹೇಳುತ್ತೇನೆ, ಇದನ್ನು ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಂಡು ನೀನು ಅಶುಭದಿಂದ ಮುಕ್ತನಾಗುವೆ.
The Blessed Lord said However, to you who are not given to cavilling I shall speak of this highest secret itself, which is Knowledge [Jnana may mean Brahman that is Consciousness, or Its knowledge gathered from the Vedas (paroksa-jnana). Vijnana is direct experience (aparoksa-jnana).] combined with experience, by realizing which you shall be free from evil.
'ಇದಂ' (ಇದು) ಆತ್ಮಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಸೂಚಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಜ್ಞಾನ ಎಂದರೆ ಉಪನಿಷತ್ತುಗಳ ಅಧ್ಯಯನದ ಮೂಲಕ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮದ ಸೈದ್ಧಾಂತಿಕ ಜ್ಞಾನ, ಇದನ್ನು ಪರೋಕ್ಷ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಜ್ಞಾನ ಎಂದೂ ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. ವಿಜ್ಞಾನ ಎಂದರೆ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮದ ನೇರ ಅನುಭೂತಿ ಅಥವಾ ಆತ್ಮಸಾಕ್ಷಾತ್ಕಾರ, ಇದನ್ನು ಅಪರೋಕ್ಷ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಜ್ಞಾನ ಎಂದೂ ಕರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಇದು ದುಷ್ಟತನದಿಂದ ಅಥವಾ ಸಂಸಾರದ ಬಂಧನದಿಂದ, ಜನನ-ಮರಣದಿಂದ ವಿಮೋಚನೆ ಪಡೆಯಲು ನೇರ ಸಾಧನವಾಗಿದೆ. ಆತ್ಮಜ್ಞಾನವು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಗಹನವಾದ ರಹಸ್ಯವಾಗಿದೆ. ಭಗವಾನ್ ಕೃಷ್ಣನು, 'ಓ ಅರ್ಜುನ, ನೀನು ಅಸೂಯೆಯಿಂದ ಮುಕ್ತನಾಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ, ನಾನು ನಿನಗೆ ಈ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಗಹನವಾದ ರಹಸ್ಯ ಜ್ಞಾನವನ್ನು ಅನುಭವದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಕಲಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ' ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾನೆ.
Idam (this) alludes to knowledge of the Self.Jnana Theoretical knowledge of Brahman through the study of the Upanishads? also known as Paroksha Brahma Jnana.Vijnana Direct intuitive perception of Brahman or AtmaSakshatkara? also known as Aparoksha Brahma Jnana.This alone forms the direct means of attaining to liberation from evil or the bondage of Samsara? freedom from birth and death.The knowledge of the Self is the most profound secret. It can hardly be described in words. It can be realised only through direct experience or spiritual intuition. Atman or Brahman or the selfluminous? eternal? Supreme Purusha is ever shining in the chambers of the hearts of men. Throughout the ages there have always been a few who have trodden the spiritual path and found out this secret or the spiritual treasure of the precious pearl of the Self. Knowledge of the Self is the only direct means for attaining liberation? Karma Yoga purifies the heart and leads to the dawn of the knowledge of the Self.Lord Krishna says? O Arjuna? I shall teach you this profoundest secret knowledge combined with realisation as you are free from jealousy. From this we can clearly understand that freedom from jealousy is an important alification for an aspirant. Knowledge can only dawn in a mind which is free from all forms of jealousy which causes great distraction of the mind and produces intense heartburning. Matsarya (malicious envy)? Irshya (jealous of others prosperity or happiness) and Asuya (envious or indignant over the merits of another) are all varieties of jealousy. If you superimpose evil alities on a virtuous man who really does not possess these alities on a virtuous man who really does not possess these alities and speak ill of him? this is jealousy (Asuya). To behold evil or to look at a person with the faultfinding evil eye? and to see evil in him who is free from any kind of fault and who is virtuous is Asyua. Jealousy is only pettymindedness. This is a modification of ignorance. It can be eradicated by eniry of the nature of the Self and cultivating its opposite alities? viz.? nobility? broad and universal tolerance? magnanimity and largeheartedness.To thee who does not carp or cavil This implies that Arjuna was endowed with all the virtues of a disciple such as straightforwardness? selfcontrol? restraint of the senses? serenity of mind? discrmination? dispassion? etc. This is the Upalakshana (the truth alluded to where only a part is stated) and Asuya is the Upalakshaka (the hint which alludes to the Upalakshana).
