Translation

Arjuna inquired: O my Lord, O Supreme Person, what is Brahman? What is the self? What are fruitive activities? What is this material manifestation? And what are the demigods? Please explain this to me.

Arjuna upita: O Gospodine moj, o Vrhovna Osobo, što je Brahman? Što je jastvo? Što su plodonosne djelatnosti? Što je materijalno očitovanje i što su polubogovi? Molim Te, objasni mi.

Purport

In this chapter Lord Kṛṣṇa answers different questions from Arjuna, beginning with “What is Brahman?” The Lord also explains karma (fruitive activities), devotional service and yoga principles, and devotional service in its pure form. The Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam explains that the Supreme Absolute Truth is known as Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān. In addition, the living entity, the individual soul, is also called Brahman. Arjuna also inquires about ātmā, which refers to body, soul and mind. According to the Vedic dictionary, ātmā refers to the mind, soul, body and senses also.

SMISAO: U ovom poglavlju Gospodin Kṛṣṇa odgovara Arjuni na različita pitanja, počev od pitanja „Što je Brahman?" Gospodin objašnjava karmu (plodonosne djelatnosti), predano služenje i načela yoge i predano služenje u njegovu čistu obliku. U Śrīmad-Bhāgavatamu objašnjeno je da je Vrhovna Apsolutna Istina poznata kao Brahman, Paramātmā i Bhagavān. Živo biće, individualna duša, također je Brahman. Arjuna se raspituje i o ātmi, koja se odnosi na tijelo, dušu i um. Prema vedskom rječniku ātmā se odnosi na um, dušu, tijelo i osjetila.

Arjuna has addressed the Supreme Lord as Puruṣottama, Supreme Person, which means that he was putting these questions not simply to a friend but to the Supreme Person, knowing Him to be the supreme authority able to give definitive answers.

Arjuna je oslovio Svevišnjega Gospodina kao Puruṣottamu, Vrhovnu Osobu, što znači da je pitanja postavio ne samo prijatelju već i Vrhovnoj Osobi, znajući da je On vrhovni autoritet koji može dati konačne odgovore.
