Význam

Purport

Pravý oddaný má všetky vlastnosti polobohov, zatiaľ čo tomu, kto nie je odovzdaný Bohu, chýbajú zbožné vlastnosti, hoci môže byť hmotne pokročilý v kultúre, vo vzdelaní a pod. Keď Arjuna, Kṛṣṇov oddaný, uvidel pred sebou na bojisku svojich bojachtivých príbuzných a priateľov, pocítil s nimi súcit. Arjuna, prirodzene, už od začiatku súcitil so svojimi vojakmi, no súcit pociťoval aj k vojakom na opačnej strane, pretože predvídal ich záhubu. Zatiaľ čo takto uvažoval, chvel sa na celom tele a v ústach mu vyschlo. Arjunu prekvapila ich dychtivosť bojovať. Bojovať s ním prišli vlastne všetci jeho príbuzní. To ohromilo dobrosrdečného oddaného, ako je Arjuna. Aj keď tu o tom nie je ani zmienka, môžeme si ľahko predstaviť, že sa nielen chvel na celom tele a mal sucho v ústach, ale zo súcitu i plakal. To nie sú znaky Arjunovej slabosti; skôr to poukazuje na jeho dobré srdce, čo je charakteristický rys čistého oddaného. V Śrīmad-Bhāgavatame (5.8.12) sa preto uvádza:

Any man who has genuine devotion to the Lord has all the good qualities which are found in godly persons or in the demigods, whereas the nondevotee, however advanced he may be in material qualifications by education and culture, lacks in godly qualities. As such, Arjuna, just after seeing his kinsmen, friends and relatives on the battlefield, was at once overwhelmed by compassion for them who had so decided to fight amongst themselves. As far as his soldiers were concerned, he was sympathetic from the beginning, but he felt compassion even for the soldiers of the opposite party, foreseeing their imminent death. And while he was so thinking, the limbs of his body began to quiver, and his mouth became dry. He was more or less astonished to see their fighting spirit. Practically the whole community, all blood relatives of Arjuna, had come to fight with him. This overwhelmed a kind devotee like Arjuna. Although it is not mentioned here, still one can easily imagine that not only were Arjuna’s bodily limbs quivering and his mouth drying up, but he was also crying out of compassion. Such symptoms in Arjuna were not due to weakness but to his softheartedness, a characteristic of a pure devotee of the Lord. It is said therefore:

yasyāsti bhaktir bhagavaty akiñcanā
sarvair guṇais tatra samāsate surāḥ
harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇā
mano-rathenāsati dhāvato bahiḥ

„Kto je neochvejne odovzdaný Božskej Osobnosti, má všetky dobré vlastnosti polobohov. No ten, kto nie je Bohu odovzdaný, má iba hmotné vlastnosti, ktoré majú nepatrnú hodnotu. Je to kvôli tomu, že jeho myšlienky sa nachádzajú na hmotnej úrovni, a preto ho iste fascinuje trblietajúca sa hmotná energia.“

“One who has unflinching devotion for the Personality of Godhead has all the good qualities of the demigods. But one who is not a devotee of the Lord has only material qualifications that are of little value. This is because he is hovering on the mental plane and is certain to be attracted by the glaring material energy.” (Bhāg. 5.18.12)
