sri-bhagavan uvaca imam vivasvate yogam proktavan aham avyayam vivasvan manave praha manur iksvakave’bravit

श्रीभगवान उवाच इमं विवस्वते योगं प्रोक्तवान अहम अव्ययम विवस्वान मनवे प्राह मनुर इक्ष्वाकवेऽब्रवीत

The Blessed Lord said: I instructed this imperishable science of yoga to the sun-god, Vivasvan, and Vivasvan instructed it to Manu, the father of mankind, and Manu in turn instructed it to Iksvaku.

evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ sa kāleneha mahatā yogo naṣṭaḥ parantapa

evam parampara-praptam imam rajarsayo viduh sa kaleneha mahata yogo nastah parantapa

एवं परम्पराप्राप्तम इमं राजर्षयो विदुः स कालेनेह महता योगो नष्टः परन्तप

This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost.

sa evāyaṁ mayā te’dya yogaḥ proktaḥ purātanaḥ bhakto’si me sakhā ceti rahasyaṁ hy etad uttamam

sa evayam maya te’dya yogah proktah puratanah bhakto’si me sakha ceti rahasyam hy etad uttamam

स एवायं मया तेऽद्य योगः प्रोक्तः पुरातनः भक्तोऽसि मे सखा चेति रहस्यं ह्य एतद उत्तमम

That very ancient science of the relationship with the Supreme is today told by Me to you because you are My devotee as well as My friend; therefore you can understand the transcendental mystery of this science.

arjuna uvāca aparaṁ bhavato janma paraṁ janma vivasvataḥ katham etad vijānīyāṁ tvam ādau proktavān iti

arjuna uvaca aparam bhavato janma param janma vivasvatah katham etad vijaniyam tvam adau proktavan iti

अर्जुन उवाच अपरं भवतो जन्म परं जन्म विवस्वतः कथम एतद विजानीयां त्वम आदौ प्रोक्तवान इति

Arjuna said: The sun-god Vivasvan is senior by birth to You. How am I to understand that in the beginning You instructed this science to him?

श्रीभगवान उवाच बहूनि मे व्यतीतानि जन्मानि तव चार्जुन तान्य अहं वेद सर्वाणि न त्वं वेत्थ परन्तप

The Blessed Lord said: Many, many births both you and I have passed. I can remember all of them, but you cannot, O subduer of the enemy!

अजोऽपि सन्न अव्ययात्मा भूतानाम ईश्वरोऽपि सन प्रकृतिं स्वाम अधिष्ठाय संभवाम्य आत्ममायया

Although I am unborn and My transcendental body never deteriorates, and although I am the Lord of all sentient beings, I still appear in every millennium in My original transcendental form.

yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata abhyutthānam adharmasya tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham

yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srjamy aham

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर भवति भारत अभ्युत्थानम अधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्य अहम

Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion--at that time I descend Myself.

परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय संभवामि युगे युगे

In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I advent Myself millennium after millennium.

janma karma ca me divyam evam yo vetti tattvatah tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti so’rjuna

जन्म कर्म च मे दिव्यम एवं यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः त्यक्त्वा देहं पुनर जन्म नैति माम एति सोऽर्जुन

One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.

वीतरागभयक्रोधा मन्मया माम उपाश्रिताः बहवो ज्ञानतपसा पूता मद्भावम आगताः

Being freed from attachment, fear and anger, being fully absorbed in Me and taking refuge in Me, many, many persons in the past became purified by knowledge of Me--and thus they all attained transcendental love for Me.

ye yathā māṁ prapadyante tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham mama vartmānuvartante manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ

ye yatha mam prapadyante tams tathaiva bhajamy aham mama vartmanuvartante manusyah partha sarvasah

ये यथा मां प्रपद्यन्ते तांस तथैव भजाम्य अहम मम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः

All of them--as they surrender unto Me--I reward accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Prtha.

काङ्क्षन्तः कर्मणां सिद्धिं यजन्त इह देवताः क्षिप्रं हि मानुषे लोके सिद्धिर भवति कर्मजा

Men in this world desire success in fruitive activities, and therefore they worship the demigods. Quickly, of course, men get results from fruitive work in this world.

चातुर्वर्ण्यं मया सृष्टं गुणकर्मविभागशः तस्य कर्तारम अपि मां विद्ध्य अकर्तारम अव्ययम

According to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them, the four divisions of human society were created by Me. And, although I am the creator of this system, you should know that I am yet the non-doer, being unchangeable.

na māṁ karmāṇi limpanti na me karma-phale spṛhā iti māṁ yo’bhijānāti karmabhir na sa badhyate

न मां कर्माणि लिम्पन्ति न मे कर्मफले स्पृहा इति मां योऽभिजानाति कर्मभिर न स बध्यते

There is no work that affects Me; nor do I aspire for the fruits of action. One who understands this truth about Me also does not become entangled in the fruitive reactions of work.

एवं ज्ञात्वा कृतं कर्म पूर्वैर अपि मुमुक्षुभिः कुरु कर्मैव तस्मात त्वं पूर्वैः पूर्वतरं कृतम

All the liberated souls in ancient times acted with this understanding and so attained liberation. Therefore, as the ancients, you should perform your duty in this divine consciousness.

kiṁ karma kim akarmeti kavayo’py atra mohitāḥ tat te karma pravakṣyāmi yaj jñātvā mokṣyase’śubhāt

kim karma kim akarmeti kavayo’py atra mohitah tat te karma pravaksyami yaj jnatva moksyase’subhat

किं कर्म किम अकर्मेति कवयोऽप्य अत्र मोहिताः तत ते कर्म प्रवक्ष्यामि यज ज्ञात्वा मोक्ष्यसेऽशुभात

Even the intelligent are bewildered in determining what is action and what is inaction. Now I shall explain to you what action is, knowing which you shall be liberated from all sins.

कर्मणो ह्य अपि बोद्धव्यं बोद्धव्यं च विकर्मणः अकर्मणश च बोद्धव्यं गहना कर्मणो गतिः

The intricacies of action are very hard to understand. Therefore one should know properly what action is, what forbidden action is, and what inaction is.

कर्मण्य अकर्म यः पश्येद अकर्मणि च कर्म यः स बुद्धिमान मनुष्येषु स युक्तः कृत्स्नकर्मकृत

One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men, and he is in the transcendental position, although engaged in all sorts of activities.

यस्य सर्वे समारम्भाः कामसंकल्पवर्जिताः ज्ञानाग्निदग्धकर्माणं तम आहुः पण्डितं बुधाः

One is understood to be in full knowledge whose every act is devoid of desire for sense gratification. He is said by sages to be a worker whose fruitive action is burned up by the fire of perfect knowledge.

निराशीर यतचित्तात्मा त्यक्तसर्वपरिग्रहः शारीरं केवलं कर्म कुर्वन नाप्नोति किल्बिषम

Such a man of understanding acts with mind and intelligence perfectly controlled, gives up all sense of proprietorship over his possessions and acts only for the bare necessities of life. Thus working, he is not affected by sinful reactions.

yadṛcchā-lābha-saṁtuṣṭo dvandvātīto vimatsaraḥ samaḥ siddhāv asiddhau ca kṛtvāpi na nibadhyate

yadrccha-labha-samtusto dvandvatito vimatsarah samah siddhav asiddhau ca krtvapi na nibadhyate

The work of a man who is unattached to the modes of material nature and who is fully situated in transcendental knowledge merges entirely into transcendence.

दैवम एवापरे यज्ञं योगिनः पर्युपासते ब्रह्माग्नाव अपरे यज्ञं यज्ञेनैवोपजुह्वति

Some yogis perfectly worship the demigods by offering different sacrifices to them, and some of them offer sacrifices in the fire of the Supreme Brahman.

srotradinindriyany anye samyamagnisu juhvati sabdadin visayan anya indriyagnisu juhvati

अपाने जुह्वति प्राणं प्राणेऽपानं तथापरे प्राणापानगती रुद्ध्वा प्राणायामपरायणाः

And there are even others who are inclined to the process of breath restraint to remain in trance, and they practice stopping the movement of the outgoing breath into the incoming, and incoming breath into the outgoing, and thus at last remain in trance, stopping all breathing. Some of them, curtailing the eating process, offer the outgoing breath into itself, as a sacrifice.

यज्ञशिष्टामृतभुजो यान्ति ब्रह्म सनातनम नायं लोकोऽस्त्य अयज्ञस्य कुतोऽन्यः कुरुसत्तम

O best of the Kuru dynasty, without sacrifice one can never live happily on this planet or in this life: what then of the next?

All these different types of sacrifice are approved by the Vedas, and all of them are born of different types of work. Knowing them as such, you will become liberated.

श्रेयान द्रव्यमयाद यज्ञाज ज्ञानयज्ञः परन्तप सर्वं कर्माखिलं पार्थ ज्ञाने परिसमाप्यते

O chastiser of the enemy, the sacrifice of knowledge is greater than the sacrifice of material possessions. O son of Prtha, after all, the sacrifice of work culminates in transcendental knowledge.

तद विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस तत्त्वदर्शिनः

Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth.

यज ज्ञात्वा न पुनर मोहम एवं यास्यसि पाण्डव येन भूतान्य अशेषेण द्रक्ष्यस्य आत्मन्य अथो मयि

And when you have thus learned the truth, you will know that all living beings are but part of Me--and that they are in Me, and are Mine.

यथैधांसि समिद्धोऽग्निर भस्मसात कुरुतेऽर्जुन ज्ञानाग्निः सर्वकर्माणि भस्मसात कुरुते तथा

As the blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities.

न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रम इह विद्यते तत स्वयं योगसंसिद्धः कालेनात्मनि विन्दति

In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has achieved this enjoys the self with himself in due course of time.

अज्ञश चाश्रद्दधानश च संशयात्मा विनश्यति नायं लोकोऽस्ति न परो न सुखं संशयात्मनः

But ignorant and faithless persons who doubt the revealed scriptures do not attain God consciousness. For the doubting soul there is happiness neither in this world nor in the next.

Therefore, one who has renounced the fruits of his action, whose doubts are destroyed by transcendental knowledge, and who is situated firmly in the self, is not bound by works, O conqueror of riches.
