Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 7 - Knowledge of the Absolute >> << 7 - O Conhecimento Acerca do Absoluto >> << VERSE 28 — VERSO 28 >> येषां तव अन्तगतं पापं जनानां पुण्यकर्मणाम ते दवन्द्वमॊहनिर्मुक्ता भजन्ते मां दृढव्रताः yeṣāṁ tv anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA yeṣām whose tu but anta-gatam completely eradicated pāpam sin janānām of the persons puṇya pious karmaṇām whose previous activities te they dvandva of duality moha delusion nirmuktāḥ free from bhajante engage in devotional service mām to Me dṛḍha-vratāḥ with determination TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life and whose sinful actions are completely eradicated are freed from the dualities of delusion, and they engage themselves in My service with determination. Aqueles que agiram piedosamente tanto nesta vida quanto em vidas passadas, e cujas ações pecaminosas se erradicaram por completo, livram-se da ilusão manifesta sob a forma das dualidades, e se ocupam em servir-Me com determinação. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO Those eligible for elevation to the transcendental position are mentioned in this verse. For those who are sinful, atheistic, foolish and deceitful, it is very difficult to transcend the duality of desire and hate. Only those who have passed their lives in practicing the regulative principles of religion, who have acted piously, and who have conquered sinful reactions can accept devotional service and gradually rise to the pure knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Then, gradually, they can meditate in trance on the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the process of being situated on the spiritual platform. This elevation is possible in Kṛṣṇa consciousness in the association of pure devotees, for in the association of great devotees one can be delivered from delusion. It is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (5.5.2) that if one actually wants to be liberated he must render service to the devotees (mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimukteḥ); but one who associates with materialistic people is on the path leading to the darkest region of existence (tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam). All the devotees of the Lord traverse this earth just to recover the conditioned souls from their delusion. The impersonalists do not know that forgetting their constitutional position as subordinate to the Supreme Lord is the greatest violation of God’s law. Unless one is reinstated in his own constitutional position, it is not possible to understand the Supreme Personality or to be fully engaged in His transcendental loving service with determination. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
