Bhagavad-gītā As it Is — Bhagavad-gītā Como Ele É EM PROCESSO << 8 - Attaining the Supreme >> << 8 - Alcançando o Supremo >> << VERSE 16 — VERSO 16 >> आ बरह्मभुवनाल लॊकाः पुनरावर्तिनॊ ऽरजुन माम उपेत्य तु कौन्तेय पुनर्जन्म न विद्यते ā-brahma-bhuvanāl lokāḥ punar āvartino ’rjuna mām upetya tu kaunteya punar janma na vidyate WORD BY WORD — PALAVRA POR PALAVRA ā-brahma-bhuvanāt up to the Brahmaloka planet lokāḥ the planetary systems punaḥ again āvartinaḥ returning arjuna O Arjuna mām unto Me upetya arriving tu but kaunteya O son of Kuntī punaḥ janma rebirth na never vidyate takes place TRANSLATION — TRADUÇÃO From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one who attains to My abode, O son of Kuntī, never takes birth again. Partindo do planeta mais elevado no mundo material e descendo ao mais baixo, todos são lugares de miséria, onde ocorrem repetidos nascimentos e mortes. Mas quem alcança a Minha morada, ó filho de Kuntī, jamais volta a nascer. PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO All kinds of yogīs – karma, jñāna, haṭha, etc. – eventually have to attain devotional perfection in bhakti-yoga, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, before they can go to Kṛṣṇa’s transcendental abode and never return. Those who attain the highest material planets, the planets of the demigods, are again subjected to repeated birth and death. As persons on earth are elevated to higher planets, people on higher planets such as Brahmaloka, Candraloka and Indraloka fall down to earth. The practice of sacrifice called pañcāgni-vidyā, recommended in the Chāndogya Upaniṣad, enables one to achieve Brahmaloka, but if, on Brahmaloka, one does not cultivate Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then he must return to earth. Those who progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness on the higher planets are gradually elevated to higher and higher planets and at the time of universal devastation are transferred to the eternal spiritual kingdom. Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa, in his commentary on Bhagavad-gītā, quotes this verse: brahmaṇā saha te sarve samprāpte pratisañcare parasyānte kṛtātmānaḥ praviśanti paraṁ padam “When there is devastation of this material universe, Brahmā and his devotees, who are constantly engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, are all transferred to the spiritual universe and to specific spiritual planets according to their desires.” << Previous Verso — Verso anterior | Next Verse — Próximo >>
