बहूनां जन्मनामन्ते ज्ञानवान्मां प्रपद्यते | वासुदेवः सर्वमिति स महात्मा सुदुर्लभः
bahūnāṃ janmanāmante jñānavānmāṃ prapadyate . vāsudevaḥ sarvamiti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ
歷經多生多世之後,智者方能證悟「婆藪提婆(Vasudeva)即一切」而達到我。如此的偉大靈魂(Mahatma)極為稀有。
At the end of many births the man of Knowledge attains Me, (realizing) that Vasudeva is all. Such a high-souled one is very rare.
「婆藪提婆」(Vasudeva)是奎師那(Krishna)主的一個名字,因為他是婆藪提婆(Vasudeva)之子。他也是遍及一切的梵(Brahman)。修行者透過多生多世的瑜伽(Yoga)修習、無私服務、奉獻和持續冥想,逐漸進化,最終達到內在自性(Atman)。他體悟到「一切皆是婆藪提婆」。要找到這樣一個已臻圓滿的偉大靈魂(Mahatma)是極其困難的,無人能與他匹敵。這就是主說:「千人之中或許只有一人努力追求圓滿,即使在那些成功的修行者中,或許也只有一人能真正認識我。」(參見《薄伽梵歌》第七章第三節)
Vaasudeva is a name of Lord Krishna as He is the son of Vasudeva. He is the allpervading Brahman.The aspirant gradually evolves through Yogic practices? selfless service? devotion and constant meditation in many births and ultimately attains the inner Self. He realises that all is Vaasudeva. It is very difficult to find such a great soul? who has attained to perfection. No one is eal to him. That is the reason why the Lord has said? One in a thousand perchance strives for perfection even among those successful strivers? only one perchance knows Me in essence. (Cf.VII.3.)
