ये यथा मां प्रपद्यन्ते तांस्तथैव भजाम्यहम् | मम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः
ye yathā māṃ prapadyante tāṃstathaiva bhajāmyaham . mama vartmānuvartante manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ
人们以何种方式接近我,我便以何种方式回应他们。帕尔塔之子啊,世人无论如何,都在遵循我的道路。
According to the manner in which they approach Me, I favour them in that very manner. O son of Partha, human beings follow My path in every way.
我根据人们接近我的方式和动机,赐予他们所渴望的。如果有人出于自私的动机崇拜我,我便满足其所求;如果他无私地崇拜我以求获得自性(Atman)的知识,我便赐予他解脱(Moksha)或最终的自由。我绝不偏袒任何人。
I reward men by bestowing on them the objects they desire in accordance with their ways and the motives with which they seek Me. If anyone worships Me with selfish motives I grant him the objects he desires. If he worships Me unselfishly for attaining knowledge of the Self? I grant him Moksha or final liberation. I am not at all partial to anyone. (Cf.VII.21andIX.23).
