Translation

One who, at the time of death, fixes his life air between the eyebrows and, by the strength of yoga, with an undeviating mind, engages himself in remembering the Supreme Lord in full devotion, will certainly attain to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Kdor v trenutku smrti dvigne življenjski zrak med obrvi ter se okrepljen z vadbo yoge neomajnega uma spominja Vsevišnjega Gospoda z ljubeznijo in vdanostjo, zagotovo doseže Vsevišnjo Božansko Osebnost.

Purport

In this verse it is clearly stated that at the time of death the mind must be fixed in devotion to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. For those practiced in yoga, it is recommended that they raise the life force between the eyebrows (to the ājñā-cakra). The practice of ṣaṭ-cakra-yoga, involving meditation on the six cakras, is suggested here. A pure devotee does not practice such yoga, but because he is always engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, at death he can remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead by His grace. This is explained in verse 14.

Ta verz jasno pravi, da mora človek v trenutku smrti osredotočiti um na Vsevišnjega Gospoda in misliti Nanj z ljubeznijo in vdanostjo. Tistim, ki vadijo yogo, je priporočeno, da dvignejo življenjski zrak med obrvi (do ājñā-cakre). V tem verzu Gospod govori o ṣaṭ-cakra-yogi, ki vključuje meditacijo o šestih cakrah. Čistega bhakte ta vrsta yoge ne zanima, kljub temu pa se ob smrti po Gospodovi milosti lahko spomni Vsevišnje Božanske Osebnosti, saj nenehno služi Kṛṣṇi. O tem govori štirinajsti verz tega poglavja.

The particular use of the word yoga-balena is significant in this verse because without practice of yoga – whether ṣaṭ-cakra-yoga or bhakti-yoga – one cannot come to this transcendental state of being at the time of death. One cannot suddenly remember the Supreme Lord at death; one must have practiced some yoga system, especially the system of bhakti-yoga. Since one’s mind at death is very disturbed, one should practice transcendence through yoga during one’s life.

V tem verzu zasluži posebno pozornost beseda yoga-balena. Kdor se ne ukvarja z yogo (pa naj bo to ṣaṭ-cakra-yoga ali pa bhakti-yoga), se v trenutku smrti ne more dvigniti na transcendentalno raven. Ob smrti se ne bomo kar na lepem spomnili Vsevišnjega Gospoda. Potrebno je, da se pred tem ukvarjamo z neko vrsto yoge; še najbolje je, če je to bhakti-yoga. Ker je um v trenutku smrti zelo vznemirjen, se moramo za časa življenja posvetiti yogi, da bi tako dosegli transcendentalno raven.
