Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 3 - Karma-yoga >> << 3 - Karma-yoga >> << VERSE 43 — VERSO 43 >> एवं बुद्धेः परं बुद्ध्वा संस्तभ्यात्मानम आत्मना जहि शत्रुं महाबाहॊ कामरूपं दुरासदम evaṁ buddheḥ paraṁ buddhvā saṁstabhyātmānam ātmanā jahi śatruṁ mahā-bāho kāma-rūpaṁ durāsadam WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA evam thus buddheḥ to intelligence param superior buddhvā knowing saṁstabhya by steadying ātmānam the mind ātmanā by deliberate intelligence jahi conquer śatrum the enemy mahā-bāho O mighty-armed one kāma-rūpam in the form of lust durāsadam formidable TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO Thus knowing oneself to be transcendental to the material senses, mind and intelligence, O mighty-armed Arjuna, one should steady the mind by deliberate spiritual intelligence [Kṛṣṇa consciousness] and thus – by spiritual strength – conquer this insatiable enemy known as lust. Assim, sabendo que é transcendental aos sentidos, à mente e à inteligência materiais, ó Arjuna de braços poderosos, a pessoa deve equilibrar a mente por meio de deliberada inteligência espiritual [consciência de Kṛṣṇa] e assim — pela força espiritual — vencer este inimigo insaciável conhecido como luxúria. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO This Third Chapter of the Bhagavad-gītā is conclusively directive to Kṛṣṇa consciousness by knowing oneself as the eternal servitor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, without considering impersonal voidness the ultimate end. In the material existence of life, one is certainly influenced by propensities for lust and desire for dominating the resources of material nature. Desire for overlording and for sense gratification is the greatest enemy of the conditioned soul; but by the strength of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one can control the material senses, the mind and the intelligence. One may not give up work and prescribed duties all of a sudden; but by gradually developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one can be situated in a transcendental position without being influenced by the material senses and the mind – by steady intelligence directed toward one’s pure identity. This is the sum total of this chapter. In the immature stage of material existence, philosophical speculations and artificial attempts to control the senses by the so-called practice of yogic postures can never help a man toward spiritual life. He must be trained in Kṛṣṇa consciousness by higher intelligence. Thus end the Bhaktivedanta Purports to the Third Chapter of the Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā in the matter of Karma-yoga, or the Discharge of One’s Prescribed Duty in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
