Translation

Arjuna küsis: Oo, mu Jumal, oo, Kõrgeim Isiksus, mis on Brahman? Mis on „mina"? Mis on karmalised tegevused? Mis on materiaalne avaldumine? Ning kes on pooljumalad? Palun, selgita mulle kõike seda.

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.

Purport

Selles peatükis vastab Jumal Kṛṣṇa Arjuna erinevatele küsimustele, millest esimene on „Mis on Brahman?" Jumal selgitab samuti, mis on karma (resultaatidele suunatud tegevused), pühendunud teenimine, jooga põhimõtted ning pühendunud teenimine selle puhtal kujul. „Śrīmad-Bhāgavatamis" selgitatakse, et Kõrgeimat Absoluutset Tõde tuntakse Brahmani, Paramātmā ja Bhagavānina. Lisaks sellele nimetatakse ka elusolendit, individuaalset hinge Brahmaniks. Arjuna esitab küsimuse ka ātmā kohta. Vedaliku sõnaraamatu kohaselt tähistab ātmā nii mõistust, hinge, keha kui ka meeli.

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.

Arjuna pöördub Kõigekõrgema Jumala poole nimega Puruṣottama, mis tähendab „Kõrgeim Isiksus", seega ei esitanud ta oma küsimusi mitte lihtsalt sõbrale, vaid Kõrgeimale Isiksusele, teades, et Tema on kõrgeim autoriteet andmaks lõplikke vastuseid.

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.
