Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 8 - Attaining the Supreme >> << 8 - Alcançando o Supremo >> << VERSE 15 — VERSO 15 >> माम उपेत्य पुनर्जन्म दुःखालयम अशाश्वतम नाप्नुवन्ति महात्मानः संसिद्धिं परमां गताः mām upetya punar janma duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam nāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ saṁsiddhiṁ paramāṁ gatāḥ WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA mām Me upetya achieving punaḥ again janma birth duḥkha-ālayam place of miseries aśāśvatam temporary na never āpnuvanti attain mahā-ātmānaḥ the great souls saṁsiddhim perfection paramām ultimate gatāḥ having achieved TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogīs in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection. Após Me alcançarem, as grandes almas, que são yogīs em devoção, jamais retornam a este mundo temporário que é cheio de misérias, porque eles obtiveram a perfeição máxima. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO Since this temporary material world is full of the miseries of birth, old age, disease and death, naturally he who achieves the highest perfection and attains the supreme planet, Kṛṣṇaloka, Goloka Vṛndāvana, does not wish to return. The supreme planet is described in Vedic literature as avyakta and akṣara and paramā gati; in other words, that planet is beyond our material vision, and it is inexplicable, but it is the highest goal, the destination for the mahātmās (great souls). The mahātmās receive transcendental messages from the realized devotees and thus gradually develop devotional service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and become so absorbed in transcendental service that they no longer desire elevation to any of the material planets, nor do they even want to be transferred to any spiritual planet. They only want Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa’s association, and nothing else. That is the highest perfection of life. This verse specifically mentions the personalist devotees of the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa. These devotees in Kṛṣṇa consciousness achieve the highest perfection of life. In other words, they are the supreme souls. << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
