Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 6 - Dhyāna-yoga >> << 6 - Dhyāna-yoga >> << VERSE 36 — VERSO 36 >> असंयतात्मना यॊगॊ दुष्प्राप इति मे मतिः वश्यात्मना तु यतता शक्यॊ ऽवाप्तुम उपायतः asaṁyatātmanā yogo duṣprāpa iti me matiḥ vaśyātmanā tu yatatā śakyo ’vāptum upāyataḥ WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA asaṁyata unbridled ātmanā by the mind yogaḥ self-realization duṣprāpaḥ difficult to obtain iti thus me My matiḥ opinion vaśya controlled ātmanā by the mind tu but yatatā while endeavoring śakyaḥ practical avāptum to achieve upāyataḥ by appropriate means TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO For one whose mind is unbridled, self-realization is difficult work. But he whose mind is controlled and who strives by appropriate means is assured of success. That is My opinion. Para alguém cuja mente é desenfreada, a auto-realização é tarefa difícil. Mas aquele cuja mente é controlada e que se empenha com meios apropriados com certeza terá sucesso. Esta é a Minha opinião. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO The Supreme Personality of Godhead declares that one who does not accept the proper treatment to detach the mind from material engagement can hardly achieve success in self-realization. Trying to practice yoga while engaging the mind in material enjoyment is like trying to ignite a fire while pouring water on it. Yoga practice without mental control is a waste of time. Such a show of yoga may be materially lucrative, but it is useless as far as spiritual realization is concerned. Therefore, one must control the mind by engaging it constantly in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Unless one is engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he cannot steadily control the mind. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person easily achieves the result of yoga practice without separate endeavor, but a yoga practitioner cannot achieve success without becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
