Translation

That is the way of the spiritual and godly life, after attaining which a man is not bewildered. If one is thus situated even at the hour of death, one can enter into the kingdom of God.

Selline on vaimse ja jumalakartliku elu tee, milleni jõudes ei satu inimene enam segadusse. Kui ta viibib ka surmahetkel sellel teel, siis võib ta siseneda Jumala kuningriiki.

Purport

One can attain Kṛṣṇa consciousness or divine life at once, within a second – or one may not attain such a state of life even after millions of births. It is only a matter of understanding and accepting the fact. Khaṭvāṅga Mahārāja attained this state of life just a few minutes before his death, by surrendering unto Kṛṣṇa. Nirvāṇa means ending the process of materialistic life. According to Buddhist philosophy, there is only void after the completion of this material life, but Bhagavad-gītā teaches differently. Actual life begins after the completion of this material life. For the gross materialist it is sufficient to know that one has to end this materialistic way of life, but for persons who are spiritually advanced, there is another life after this materialistic life. Before ending this life, if one fortunately becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious, he at once attains the stage of brahma-nirvāṇa. There is no difference between the kingdom of God and the devotional service of the Lord. Since both of them are on the absolute plane, to be engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord is to have attained the spiritual kingdom. In the material world there are activities of sense gratification, whereas in the spiritual world there are activities of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Attainment of Kṛṣṇa consciousness even during this life is immediate attainment of Brahman, and one who is situated in Kṛṣṇa consciousness has certainly already entered into the kingdom of God.

Kṛṣṇa teadvuseni ehk jumalakartliku eluni võib jõuda ühe hetkega, kuid samas võib see jääda saavutamata ka miljonite elude järel. Küsimus seisneb ainult mõistmises ja faktide tunnistamises. Khaṭvāṅga Mahārāja jõudis Kṛṣṇa teadvuseni vaid mõned hetked enne oma surma, alistudes lihtsalt Kṛṣṇale. Sõna nirvāṇa tähendab selles värsis materialistliku elu lõpetamist. Budistliku filosoofia kohaselt järgneb materiaalse elu lõpule vaid tühjus, kuid „Bhagavad-gītā" õpetab meile midagi muud. Tegelik elu selle materiaalse elu lõppedes alles algab. Jämedakoelise tasandiga tegelevale materialistile piisab teadmisest, et kord saabub sellele materiaalsele elule lõpp, kuid inimeste jaoks, kes on vaimselt kõrgemalt arenenud, järgneb sellele materiaalsele elule hoopis teine elu. See, kes jõuab elu jooksul õnnekombel Kṛṣṇa teadvuseni, saavutab koheselt brahma-nirvāṇa tasandi. Pole mingit erinevust Jumala kuningriigi ja Jumala pühendunud teenimise vahel. Kuna need mõlemad asuvad absoluutsel tasandil, tähendabki Jumala transtsendentaalne armastuslik pühendunud teenimine tegelikult Jumala kuningriigini jõudmist. Materiaalses maailmas tegutsetakse omaenese meelelise rahuldamise nimel, vaimses maailmas aga sooritatakse kõik tegevused Kṛṣṇa teadvuses. Juba selles elus Kṛṣṇa teadvuseni jõudmine tähendab koheselt Brahmanini jõudmist ning see, kes viibib Kṛṣṇa teadvuses, on juba jõudnud Jumala kuningriiki.

Brahman is just the opposite of matter. Therefore brāhmī sthiti means “not on the platform of material activities.” Devotional service of the Lord is accepted in the Bhagavad-gītā as the liberated stage (sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate). Therefore, brāhmī sthiti is liberation from material bondage.

Brahman on mateeria vastand. Brāhmī sthiti tähendab seega „väljaspool materiaalsete tegevuste tasandit". „Bhagavad-gītā" aktsepteerib vabanemise tasandina Jumala pühendunud teenimist (sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate). Seega tähendab brāhmī sthiti materiaalsetest köidikutest vabanemist.

Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has summarized this Second Chapter of the Bhagavad-gītā as being the contents for the whole text. In the Bhagavad-gītā, the subject matters are karma-yoga, jñāna-yoga and bhakti-yoga. In the Second Chapter karma-yoga and jñāna-yoga have been clearly discussed, and a glimpse of bhakti-yoga has also been given, as the contents for the complete text.

Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura on iseloomustanud „Bhagavad-gītā" käesolevat, teist peatükki kui kogu teose sisu kokkuvõtet. „Bhagavad-gītās" käsitletavad teemad on karma-jooga, jñāna-jooga ja bhakti-jooga. Teises peatükis on neist põhjalikult käsitletud karma- ja jñāna-joogat ning põgus ülevaade on antud ka bhakti-joogast, seega on siin vaatluse all tõepoolest kõik „Bhagavad-gītās" käsitletavad teemad.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta Purports to the Second Chapter of the Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā in the matter of its Contents.

Selliselt lõpevad Bhaktivedanta selgitused „Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā" teisele peatükile, mis käsitlesid selle sisu.
