Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 10 - The Opulence of the Absolute >> << 10 - A Opulência do Absoluto >> << VERSE 14 — VERSO 14 >> सर्वम एतद ऋतं मन्ये यन मां वदसि केशव न हि ते भगवन वयक्तिं विदुर देवा न दानवाः sarvam etad ṛtaṁ manye yan māṁ vadasi keśava na hi te bhagavan vyaktiṁ vidur devā na dānavāḥ WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA sarvam all etat this ṛtam truth manye I accept yat which mām unto me vadasi You tell keśava O Kṛṣṇa na never hi certainly te Your bhagavan O Personality of Godhead vyaktim revelation viduḥ can know devāḥ the demigods na nor dānavāḥ the demons TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO Kṛṣṇa, I totally accept as truth all that You have told me. Neither the demigods nor the demons, O Lord, can understand Your personality. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO Arjuna herein confirms that persons of faithless and demonic nature cannot understand Kṛṣṇa. He is not known even by the demigods, so what to speak of the so-called scholars of this modern world? By the grace of the Supreme Lord, Arjuna has understood that the Supreme Truth is Kṛṣṇa and that He is the perfect one. One should therefore follow the path of Arjuna. He received the authority of Bhagavad-gītā. As described in the Fourth Chapter, the paramparā system of disciplic succession for the understanding of Bhagavad-gītā was lost, and therefore Kṛṣṇa reestablished that disciplic succession with Arjuna because He considered Arjuna His intimate friend and a great devotee. Therefore, as stated in our Introduction to Gītopaniṣad, Bhagavad-gītā should be understood in the paramparā system. When the paramparā system was lost, Arjuna was selected to rejuvenate it. The acceptance by Arjuna of all that Kṛṣṇa says should be emulated; then we can understand the essence of Bhagavad-gītā, and then only can we understand that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
