Translation

Arjuna said: O descendant of Vṛṣṇi, by what is one impelled to sinful acts, even unwillingly, as if engaged by force?

Arjuna küsis: Oo, Vṛṣṇi järglane, mis on selleks jõuks, mis tõukab inimest patustele tegudele isegi siis, kui ta tahab neid vältida?

Purport

A living entity, as part and parcel of the Supreme, is originally spiritual, pure, and free from all material contaminations. Therefore, by nature he is not subject to the sins of the material world. But when he is in contact with the material nature, he acts in many sinful ways without hesitation, and sometimes even against his will. As such, Arjuna’s question to Kṛṣṇa is very sanguine, as to the perverted nature of the living entities. Although the living entity sometimes does not want to act in sin, he is still forced to act. Sinful actions are not, however, impelled by the Supersoul within, but are due to another cause, as the Lord explains in the next verse.

Oma algselt olemuselt on elusolend, olles Kõigekõrgema lahutamatu osake, vaimne ja materiaalsest saastast puhas ega allu seega ka materiaalse maailma pattudele. Ent puutudes kokku materiaalse loodusega, sooritab ta kõhklemata suurel hulgal patte, tehes seda mõnikord isegi omaenese tahte vastaselt. Seepärast on ka Arjuna küsimus Kṛṣṇale elusolendite väärastunud loomusest väga asjakohane. Ehkki elusolend ei soovi mõnikord patustada, sunnitakse teda ikkagi seda tegema. Patustele tegudele ei tõuka elusolendit ometigi mitte Ülihing tema südames; nende tegude ajendiks on üks teine põhjus, millest Jumal räägib järgmises värsis.
