Translation

Thus knowing oneself to be transcendental to the material senses, mind and intelligence, O mighty-armed Arjuna, one should steady the mind by deliberate spiritual intelligence [Kṛṣṇa consciousness] and thus – by spiritual strength – conquer this insatiable enemy known as lust.

O Arjuna snažnih ruku, znajući da je transcendentalna prema materijalnim osjetilima, umu i inteligenciji, osoba treba razboritom duhovnom inteligencijom [svjesnošću Kṛṣṇe] obuzdati um i tako duhovnom snagom savladati toga nezasitnog neprijatelja poznatog kao požuda.

Purport

This Third Chapter of the Bhagavad-gītā is conclusively directive to Kṛṣṇa consciousness by knowing oneself as the eternal servitor of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, without considering impersonal voidness the ultimate end. In the material existence of life, one is certainly influenced by propensities for lust and desire for dominating the resources of material nature. Desire for overlording and for sense gratification is the greatest enemy of the conditioned soul; but by the strength of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one can control the material senses, the mind and the intelligence. One may not give up work and prescribed duties all of a sudden; but by gradually developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness, one can be situated in a transcendental position without being influenced by the material senses and the mind – by steady intelligence directed toward one’s pure identity. This is the sum total of this chapter. In the immature stage of material existence, philosophical speculations and artificial attempts to control the senses by the so-called practice of yogic postures can never help a man toward spiritual life. He must be trained in Kṛṣṇa consciousness by higher intelligence.

SMISAO: Ovo poglavlje Bhagavad-gīte jasno upućuje na svjesnost Kṛṣṇe kroz spoznaju jastva kao vječnog sluge Svevišnje Božanske Osobe, odbacujući neosobnu prazninu kao krajnji cilj. U materijalnom životu živo biće nedvojbeno dolazi pod utjecaj sklonosti k požudi i želji za gospodarenjem bogatstvima materijalne prirode. Želja za vladanjem i osjetilnim uživanjem najveći je neprijatelj uvjetovane duše, ali svjesnošću Kṛṣṇe duša može ovladati materijalnim osjetilima, umom i inteligencijom. Osoba ne mora odjednom ostaviti svoj posao i propisane dužnosti, ali postupnim razvijanjem svjesnosti Kṛṣṇe može se, zahvaljujući postojanoj inteligenciji usmjerenoj k njezinu čistom identitetu, utemeljiti na transcendentalnoj razini, ne dolazeći pod utjecaj materijalnih osjetila i uma. To je bit ovoga poglavlja. U nezrelom stadiju materijalnog postojanja filozofska spekulacija i umjetni pokušaji vladanja osjetilima takozvanim yoga vježbama ne mogu pomoći čovjeku da napreduje u duhovnom životu. Osoba mora uz pomoć više inteligencije razviti svjesnost Kṛṣṇe.

Thus end the Bhaktivedanta Purports to the Third Chapter of the Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā in the matter of Karma-yoga, or the Discharge of One’s Prescribed Duty in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.

Tako se završavaju Bhaktivedantina tumačenja trećega poglavlja Śrīmad Bhagavad-gīte pod naslovom „Karma-yoga, izvršavanje propisanih dužnosti u svjesnosti Kṛṣṇe".
