Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 7 - Knowledge of the Absolute >> << 7 - O Conhecimento Acerca do Absoluto >> << VERSE 18 — VERSO 18 >> उदाराः सर्व एवैते जञानी तव आत्मैव मे मतम आस्थितः स हि युक्तात्मा माम एवानुत्तमां गतिम udārāḥ sarva evaite jñānī tv ātmaiva me matam āsthitaḥ sa hi yuktātmā mām evānuttamāṁ gatim WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA udārāḥ magnanimous sarve all eva certainly ete these jñānī one who is in knowledge tu but ātmā eva just like Myself me My matam opinion āsthitaḥ situated saḥ he hi certainly yukta-ātmā engaged in devotional service mām in Me eva certainly anuttamām the highest gatim destination TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO All these devotees are undoubtedly magnanimous souls, but he who is situated in knowledge of Me I consider to be just like My own self. Being engaged in My transcendental service, he is sure to attain Me, the highest and most perfect goal. Todos esses devotos são sem dúvida almas magnânimas, mas aquele que cultiva o conhecimento acerca de Mim, Eu o considero como sendo tal qual Eu mesmo. Ocupando-se em Me prestar serviço transcendental, ele com certeza Me alcançará, e esta é a meta mais elevada e perfeita. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO It is not that devotees who are less complete in knowledge are not dear to the Lord. The Lord says that all are magnanimous because anyone who comes to the Lord for any purpose is called a mahātmā, or great soul. The devotees who want some benefit out of devotional service are accepted by the Lord because there is an exchange of affection. Out of affection they ask the Lord for some material benefit, and when they get it they become so satisfied that they also advance in devotional service. But the devotee in full knowledge is considered to be very dear to the Lord because his only purpose is to serve the Supreme Lord with love and devotion. Such a devotee cannot live a second without contacting or serving the Supreme Lord. Similarly, the Supreme Lord is very fond of His devotee and cannot be separated from him. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (9.4.68), the Lord says: sādhavo hṛdayaṁ mahyaṁ sādhūnāṁ hṛdayaṁ tv aham mad-anyat te na jānanti nāhaṁ tebhyo manāg api “The devotees are always in My heart, and I am always in the hearts of the devotees. The devotee does not know anything beyond Me, and I also cannot forget the devotee. There is a very intimate relationship between Me and the pure devotees. Pure devotees in full knowledge are never out of spiritual touch, and therefore they are very much dear to Me.” << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
