अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुमाश्रितम् | परं भावमजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम्
avajānanti māṃ mūḍhā mānuṣīṃ tanumāśritam . paraṃ bhāvamajānanto mama bhūtamaheśvaram
愚蠢的人们,不了解我作为万物之主的至高本性,轻视我这取了人类形体之身。
Not knowing My supreme nature as the Lord of all beings, foolish people disregard Me who have taken a human body.
愚蠢的人们只会挑剔我纯粹的本性,正如患黄疸病的人看一切物体都是黄色的。发烧的人甚至觉得牛奶像苦楝树的汁液一样苦涩。那些希望通过肉眼看到我的人无法认识我。如果有人将海市蜃楼当作恒河,他能在那里找到水吗?那些没有辨别力和正确理解的愚蠢之人,轻视我这安住于人类形体之身。我取此身是为了赐福于我的奉献者。这些愚蠢之人不了解我更高的存在。他们不知道我是伟大的主宰、至高无上的阿特曼(自我)、光明、全知、纯净、永恒自由、不朽、智慧、万物之自我。这些愚蠢之人将我视为一个普通的凡人,并总是轻视我。智者则了解我超越本性和我显现的荣耀。我遍布、渗透并贯穿宇宙。我是这个世界、身体、心智、生命力以及感官的支撑,然而仍有一些可怜的愚蠢之人,他们说我不存在。因此,没有任何地方没有我,然而这些人却无法看到我。看看这些人的不幸。他们的命运是可悲的。(参阅《薄伽梵歌》第四章第6节;第七章第24节)
Fools only find fault with My pure nature? just as a man with jaundiced eyes finds all objects to be yellow. The man who is suffering from fever finds even milk as bitter as the essence of neem. Those who wish to behold Me by means of the physical eyes cannot know Me. If anyone takes the mirage for the Ganga? can he find any water thereFools who do not have discrimination and right understanding despise Me? dwelling in the human form. I have taken this body to bless My devotees. These fools have no knowledge of My higher Being. They do not know that I am the great Lord? the Supreme SElf? the luminous? omniscient? pure? ever free? immortal? wise? the Self of all. These fools take Me for an ordinary mortal and despise Me always. The wise know both My transcendental nature and the glory of My manifestation.I pervade? permeate and interpenetrate the universe. I am the support of this world? body? mind? lifeforce and the senses and yet there are some miserable fools? who say that I do not exist. There is thus not a place anywhere where I am not? and yet these people are not able to see Me. Look at the misfortune of these people. Pitiable is their lot (Cf.IV.6VII.24)
