Oo, Kṛṣṇa, oo, kõrgeim müstik, kuidas saan ma mõelda alati Sinust, kuidas saan ma Sind tunda? Oo, Jumala Kõrgeim Isiksus! Millistel erinevatel kujudel tuleb Sind meeles pidada?

Purport

Nagu öeldud eespool, on Jumala Kõrgeim Isiksus kaetud Oma yoga- māyāga. Ainult Temale alistunud pühendunud hinged suudavad Teda näha. Arjuna on nüüd veendunud, et tema sõber Kṛṣṇa on Kõigekõrgem Jumal, kuid ta tahab teada, milline on see protsess tavaliselt, mille kaudu ka lihtinimesed suudaksid kõikeläbivat Jumalat mõista. Tavalised inimesed, sealhulgas ka deemonid ja ateistid, ei saa Kṛṣṇat tunda, sest Kṛṣṇat kaitseb Tema yoga-māyā energia. Selles värsis esitab Arjuna küsimusi jällegi tavaliste inimeste jaoks. Kõrgelt arenenud pühendunu ei soovi mitte üksnes isiklikult Kõigekõrgemat teadvustada, vaid tahab, et kogu inimkond jõuaks selleni. Seetõttu avab Arjuna oma armust, kuna ta on vaiṣṇava (pühendunu), ukse Kõigekõrgema Jumala kõikeläbivuse mõistmiseks ka tavalistele inimestele. Ta ei pöördu Kṛṣṇa poole sõnaga yogin mitte juhuslikult, vaid rõhutab sellega, et yoga-māyā energia, mille läbi Śrī Kṛṣṇa on tavalisele inimesele kas nähtamatu või nähtav, valitsejaks on Kṛṣṇa Ise. Tavaline inimene, kes ei armasta Kṛṣṇat, ei saa pidevalt Kṛṣṇast mõtelda, ning seetõttu on ta sunnitud mõtlema materialistlikul moel. Arjuna võtab selle maailma materialistliku meelestatusega inimeste mõtteviisi arvesse. Sõnad keṣu keṣu ca bhāveṣu viitavad materiaalsele loodusele (sõna bhāva tähendab siin „füüsiliselt eksisteerivad asjad"). Kuna materialistid ei saa mõista Kṛṣṇat vaimselt, soovitatakse neile keskendada oma mõtted füüsiliselt eksisteerivatele asjadele ning püüda näha, kuidas Kṛṣṇa on füüsilistes avaldumistes esindatud.

As it is stated in the previous chapter, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is covered by His yoga-māyā. Only surrendered souls and devotees can see Him. Now Arjuna is convinced that his friend, Kṛṣṇa, is the Supreme Godhead, but he wants to know the general process by which the all-pervading Lord can be understood by the common man. Common men, including the demons and atheists, cannot know Kṛṣṇa, because He is guarded by His yoga-māyā energy. Again, these questions are asked by Arjuna for their benefit. The superior devotee is concerned not only for his own understanding but for the understanding of all mankind. So Arjuna, out of his mercy, because he is a Vaiṣṇava, a devotee, is opening for the common man the understanding of the all-pervasiveness of the Supreme Lord. He addresses Kṛṣṇa specifically as yogin because Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the master of the yoga-māyā energy, by which He is covered and uncovered to the common man. The common man who has no love for Kṛṣṇa cannot always think of Kṛṣṇa; therefore he has to think materially. Arjuna is considering the mode of thinking of the materialistic persons of this world. The words keṣu keṣu ca bhāveṣu refer to material nature (the word bhāva means “physical things”). Because materialists cannot understand Kṛṣṇa spiritually, they are advised to concentrate the mind on physical things and try to see how Kṛṣṇa is manifested by physical representations.
