Translation

Translation

That understanding which considers irreligion to be religion and religion to be irreligion, under the spell of illusion and darkness, and strives always in the wrong direction, O Pārtha, is in the mode of ignorance.

Oo, Pārtha, selline arusaam, mille läbi inimene, olles illusiooni ja pimeduse lummuses, hakkab pidama uskmatust usuks ja usku uskmatuseks, ning mis paneb ta püüdlema alati vales suunas, on teadmatuse guṇas.

Purport

Intelligence in the mode of ignorance is always working the opposite of the way it should. It accepts religions which are not actually religions and rejects actual religion. Men in ignorance understand a great soul to be a common man and accept a common man as a great soul. They think truth to be untruth and accept untruth as truth. In all activities they simply take the wrong path; therefore their intelligence is in the mode of ignorance.

Inimene, kelle arukust valitseb teadmatuse guṇa, tegutseb alati vastupidiselt sellele, kuidas ta peaks tegutsema. Ta peab religiooniks seda, mis tegelikult pole religioon, hüljates tõelise religiooni. Teadmatuses olevad inimesed peavad mõnd suurt hinge tavaliseks inimeseks ning samas mõnd tavalist inimest suureks hingeks. Nad peavad tõde valeks ning tunnistavad valet kui tõde. Kõikides tegevustes valivad nad vale tee, sest nende arukus on teadmatuse guṇa mõjuvallas.
