एक प्रेम एक मृत्यु
अध्याय – 16 – श्लोक -4
Characteristics such as deceitfulness, arrogance, excessive pride, anger, harshness, rudeness and ignorance are the makings of a man who has been born on to this earth from fiery hell.
हे पार्थ ! दम्भ, घमण्ड और अभिमान तथा क्रोध, कठोरता और अज्ञान भी —-ये सब आसुरी सम्पदा को लेकर उत्पन्न हुए पुरुष के लक्षण हैं ।। ४ ।।
अध्याय – 16 – श्लोक -13
It is common to hear people utter such things in their conversations as: ‘I have gained this today, and I shall attain this desires later. This wealth belongs to me and more wealth shall also soon be mine.’
वे सोचा करते हैं कि मैंने आज यह प्राप्त कर लिया है और अब इस मनोरथ को प्राप्त कर लूंगा । मेरे पास यह इतना धन है और फिर भी यह हो जायगा ।। १३ ।।
अध्याय – 16 – श्लोक -14
The Great Lord continued to describe the thinking of the Rakshasas (demons): It is also common to hear them say:’I have destroyed this enemy to mine and in a short time, my other enemies shall also be removed from my path of enjoyment in life. I am a Lord and the only Lord. Life is mine to enjoy as I wish. I am successful, powerful and content in life.’
वह शत्रु मेरे द्वारा मारा गया और उन दूसरे शत्रुओं को भी मैं मार डालूंगा । मैं ईश्वर हूँ, ऐश्वर्य को भोगने वाला हूँ । मैं सब सिद्धियों से युक्त्त हूँ और बलवान् तथा सुखी हूँ ।। १४ ।।
अध्याय – 16 – श्लोक -15,16
‘I am wealthy and come from a very well-to-do and quite noble family. Who else in the world can compare to my greatness? I shall sacrifice during religious rituals (whether I believe in them or not).
I shall give to various charities (to be celebrated as a great supporter of these charities) I shall thoroughly enjoy life as I please.’This, O Arjuna, is what people who are in a deluded,confused and corrupted state say.
These peole who are confused by many foul thoughts and evil influences, entangled in the net of unending darkness and obsessive desires for material gains, they are blackened souls who fall down into a foul hell in the end.
मै बड़ा धनी और बड़े कुटुम्ब वाला हूँ । मेरे समान दूसरा कौन है ? मैं यज्ञ करूँगा, दान दूंगा और आमोद प्रमोद करूँगा । इस प्रकार अज्ञान से मोहित रहने वाले तथा अनेक प्रकार से भ्रमित चित्त वाले मोह रूप जाल से समावृत और विषय भोगों में अत्यन्त आसक्त आसुर लोग महान् अपवित्र नरक में गिरते हैं ।। १५ – १६ ।।
अध्याय – 18 – श्लोक -26
A man who is free from the bondages of selfish and material attachments, who is without a false ego, unaffected by material desires or the fluctuations between success and failure, and who has enthusiasm, is said to be a man of the Saatvic-nature and in the mode of goodness.
जो कर्ता सड्गरहित, अहंकार के वचन न बोलने वाला, धैर्य और उत्साह से युक्त्त तथा कार्य के सिद्ध होने और न होने में हर्ष-शोकादि विकारों से रहित है —- वह सात्विक कहा जाता है ।। २६ ।।
अध्याय – 18 – श्लोक -58
O Arjuna, a person who constantly fixes all his thoughts and meditations upon Me, by My Grace, overcomes all the dangers and difficulties, that he encounters in his lifetime. However, he who constantly only thinks about himself, develops a false ego, and does not heed My Divine Words of Wisdom, is lost and eventually shall perish.
उपर्युक्त्त प्रकार से मुझ में चित्त वाला होकर तू मेरी कृपा से समस्त संकटों को अनायास ही पार कर जायगा और यदि अहंकार के कारण मेरे वचनों को न सुनेगा तो नष्ट हो जायगा अर्थात् परमार्थ से भ्रष्ट हो जायगा ।। ५८ ।।
