- TEXT 2:
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the value of life. They lead not to higher planets but to infamy.
- TEXT 2:
- Svevišnja Božanska Osoba reče: Dragi Moj Arjuna, kako su te obuzele te nečistoće? One ne priliče čovjeku koji poznaje vrijednosti života i ne vode k višim planetima, već k nečasti.
- TEXT 3:
- O son of Pṛthā, do not yield to this degrading impotence. It does not become you. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy.
- STIH 3:
- O Pṛthin sine, ne prepuštaj se toj degradirajućoj nemoći koja ti ne priliči. Ostavi takvu bijednu slabost srca i ustani, o pokoritelju neprijatelja.
- TEXT 4:
- Arjuna said: O killer of enemies, O killer of Madhu, how can I counterattack with arrows in battle men like Bhīṣma and Droṇa, who are worthy of my worship?
- STIH 4:
- Arjuna reče: O ubojico neprijatelja, o ubojico Madhua, kako se u bici mogu strijelama suprotstaviti ljudima kao što su Bhīṣma i Droṇa, vrijednima moga obožavanja?
- TEXT 5:
- It would be better to live in this world by begging than to live at the cost of the lives of great souls who are my teachers. Even though desiring worldly gain, they are superiors. If they are killed, everything we enjoy will be tainted with blood.
- STIH 5:
- Bolje bi bilo živjeti u ovom svijetu od prošenja nego živjeti po cijenu života velikih duša koje su moji učitelji. Premda žele svjetovne dobrobiti, oni su pretpostavljeni. Ako budu ubijeni, sve što uživamo bit će okaljano krvlju.
- TEXT 6:
- Nor do we know which is better – conquering them or being conquered by them. If we killed the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, we should not care to live. Yet they are now standing before us on the battlefield.
- STIH 6:
- Ne znamo što je bolje – pobijediti ili biti pobijeđen. Ako ubijemo Dhṛtarāṣṭrine sinove, ne bismo trebali mariti za život. Ipak, oni sada stoje pred nama na bojnom polju.
- TEXT 7:
- Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure because of miserly weakness. In this condition I am asking You to tell me for certain what is best for me. Now I am Your disciple, and a soul surrendered unto You. Please instruct me.
- STIH 7:
- Ne znam više što je moja dužnost. Zbog bijedne sam slabosti srca izgubio svu pribranost. U tom stanju molim Te da mi kažeš što je najbolje za mene. Sada sam Tvoj učenik i duša predana Tebi. Molim Te, pouči me.
- TEXT 8:
- I can find no means to drive away this grief which is drying up my senses. I will not be able to dispel it even if I win a prosperous, unrivaled kingdom on earth with sovereignty like the demigods in heaven.
- STIH 8:
- Ne vidim što može odagnati ovu žalost zbog koje mi se suše osjetila. Neću je moći odagnati čak ni ako osvojim bogato kraljevstvo bez premca na Zemlji, s vlašću poput vlasti rajskih polubogova.
- TEXT 11:
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead.
- STIH 11:
- Svevišnja Božanska Osoba reče: Dok govoriš učene riječi, jadikuješ za onim što nije vrijedno žaljenja. Mudri ljudi ne žale ni za živim ni za mrtvim.
- TEXT 13:
- As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.
- STIH 13:
- Kao što utjelovljena duša u ovom tijelu prolazi kroz dječaštvo, mladost i starost, tako u trenutku smrti prelazi u drugo tijelo. Razboritu osobu ne zbunjuje takva promjena.
- TEXT 14:
- O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.
- STIH 14:
- O Kuntīn sine, nestalno pojavljivanje sreće i nesreće te njihovo iščezavanje s vremenom, nalikuju dolasku i odlasku ljeta i zime. Oni potječu od osjetilnog opažanja, o potomče Bharate, i osoba mora naučiti da ih podnosi bez uznemirenosti.
- TEXT 15:
- O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation.
- STIH 15:
- O najbolji među ljudima [Arjuna], onaj tko nije uznemiren srećom i nesrećom, tko je postojan i u sreći i u nesreći, dostojan je oslobođenja.
- TEXT 16:
- Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent [the material body] there is no endurance and of the eternal [the soul] there is no change. This they have concluded by studying the nature of both.
- STIH 16:
- Oni koji su vidjeli istinu zaključili su da nepostojeće [materijalno tijelo] nije trajno i da vječno postojeće [duša] nije podložno promjeni. To su zaključili proučavajući prirodu i jednog i drugog.
- TEXT 20:
- For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.
- STIH 20:
- Duša se nikada ne rađa niti umire. Nije nastala, ne nastaje i neće nastati. Nerođena je, vječna, uvijek postojeća i prvobitna. Nije ubijena kada je tijelo ubijeno.
- TEXT 24:
- This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.
- STIH 24:
- Ta osobna duša ne može se slomiti, rastopiti, spaliti ili isušiti. Vječna je, svuda prisutna, nepromjenjiva, nepokretna i vječno ista.
- TEXT 27:
- One who has taken his birth is sure to die, and after death one is sure to take birth again. Therefore, in the unavoidable discharge of your duty, you should not lament.
- STIH 27:
- Onaj tko se rodio sigurno će umrijeti, a nakon smrti sigurno će se ponovno roditi. Stoga ne bi trebao žaliti pri neizbježnu obavljanju svoje dužnosti.
- TEXT 28:
- All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again when annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation?
- STIH 28:
- Sva su stvorena bića u početku neočitovana, u srednjem stadiju očitovana i nakon uništenja ponovno neočitovana. Zašto bi onda žalio?
- TEXT 29:
- Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about him, cannot understand him at all.
- STIH 29:
- Neki gledaju na dušu kao na nešto zadivljujuće, neki je opisuju kao nešto zadivljujuće, a neki slušaju o njoj kao o nečemu zadivljujućem, dok je neki čak ni nakon što su čuli o njoj nikako ne mogu shvatiti.
- TEXT 31:
- Considering your specific duty as a kṣatriya, you should know that there is no better engagement for you than fighting on religious principles; and so there is no need for hesitation.
- STIH 31:
- Uzimajući u obzir dužnost koju imaš kao kṣatriya, trebao bi znati da za tebe nema bolje djelatnosti od borbe utemeljene na religijskim načelima. Stoga se ne bi trebao dvoumiti.
- TEXT 33:
- If, however, you do not perform your religious duty of fighting, then you will certainly incur sins for neglecting your duties and thus lose your reputation as a fighter.
- STIH 33:
- Ako ne izvršiš svoju religijsku dužnost boreći se, sigurno ćeš navući na se grijehe zbog zanemarivanja svoje dužnosti. Tako ćeš izgubiti ugled ratnika.
- TEXT 35:
- The great generals who have highly esteemed your name and fame will think that you have left the battlefield out of fear only, and thus they will consider you insignificant.
- STIH 35:
- Veliki generali koji vrlo cijene tvoje ime i slavu mislit će da si napustio bojno polje samo iz straha i zato će te smatrati beznačajnim.
- TEXT 37:
- O son of Kuntī, either you will be killed on the battlefield and attain the heavenly planets, or you will conquer and enjoy the earthly kingdom. Therefore, get up with determination and fight.
- STIH 37:
- O Kuntīn sine, ili ćeš biti ubijen na bojnom polju i dostići rajske planete ili ćeš pobijediti i uživati u kraljevstvu na Zemlji. Stoga odlučno ustani i bori se.
- TEXT 38:
- Do thou fight for the sake of fighting, without considering happiness or distress, loss or gain, victory or defeat – and by so doing you shall never incur sin.
- STIH 38:
- Bori se borbe radi, ne obazirući se na sreću i nesreću, gubitak ili dobitak, pobjedu ili poraz. Tako nikada nećeš počiniti grijeh.
- TEXT 39:
- Thus far I have described this knowledge to you through analytical study. Now listen as I explain it in terms of working without fruitive results. O son of Pṛthā, when you act in such knowledge you can free yourself from the bondage of works.
- STIH 39:
- Ovo sam znanje objasnio analitičkom studijom. Sada ću ga objasniti s gledišta djelovanja bez plodonosnih rezultata. O Pṛthin sine, djelujući s takvim znanjem možeš se osloboditi ropstva uzrokovana djelovanjem.
- TEXT 41:
- Those who are on this path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one. O beloved child of the Kurus, the intelligence of those who are irresolute is many-branched.
- STIH 41:
- Sljedbenici ovoga puta odlučni su u svojoj namjeri i imaju samo jedan cilj. O voljeni sine Kurua, inteligencija je neodlučnih razgranata.
- TEXTS 42-43:
- Men of small knowledge are very much attached to the flowery words of the Vedas, which recommend various fruitive activities for elevation to heavenly planets, resultant good birth, power, and so forth. Being desirous of sense gratification and opulent life, they say that there is nothing more than this.
- STIHOVI 42-43:
- Ljudi siromašna znanja vrlo su vezani za kitnjaste riječi Veda, koje preporučuju razne plodonosne djelatnosti namijenjene uzdizanju na rajske planete, stjecanju dobra rođenja, moći itd. Željni osjetilnog zadovoljstva i života u obilju, kažu da ne postoji ništa više od toga.
- TEXT 44:
- In the minds of those who are too attached to sense enjoyment and material opulence, and who are bewildered by such things, the resolute determination for devotional service to the Supreme Lord does not take place.
- STIH 44:
- U umovima onih koji su previše vezani za osjetilno uživanje i materijalno obilje i koji su zbunjeni takvim stvarima ne rađa se čvrsta odlučnost da predano služe Svevišnjeg Gospodina.
- TEXT 45:
- The Vedas deal mainly with the subject of the three modes of material nature. O Arjuna, become transcendental to these three modes. Be free from all dualities and from all anxieties for gain and safety, and be established in the self.
- STIH 45:
- Vede se uglavnom bave guṇama materijalne prirode. O Arjuna, nadiđi te tri guṇe. Oslobođen svih dvostranosti i briga za dobitkom i sigurnošću, utemelji se u jastvu.
- TEXT 46:
- All purposes served by a small well can at once be served by a great reservoir of water. Similarly, all the purposes of the Vedas can be served to one who knows the purpose behind them.
- STIH 46:
- Velika vodena površina može ostvariti sve svrhe kojima služi maleni zdenac. Slično tome, onaj tko zna krajnju svrhu Veda može ostvariti sve ostale svrhe opisane u Vedama.
- TEXT 47:
- You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.
- STIH 47:
- Imaš pravo obavljati svoju propisanu dužnost, ali nemaš pravo na plodove djelovanja. Nikada nemoj misliti da si uzrok rezultata svojih djelatnosti i nikada ne budi vezan za neizvršavanje svoje dužnosti.
- TEXT 49:
- O Dhanañjaya, keep all abominable activities far distant by devotional service, and in that consciousness surrender unto the Lord. Those who want to enjoy the fruits of their work are misers.
- STIH 49:
- O Dhanañjaya, predano služeći drži se podalje od svih odvratnih djelatnosti i s tom svjesnošću predaj se Gospodinu. Oni koji žele uživati u plodovima svoga rada su škrtice.
- TEXT 50:
- A man engaged in devotional service rids himself of both good and bad reactions even in this life. Therefore strive for yoga, which is the art of all work.
- STIH 50:
- Čovjek koji predano služi oslobađa se dobrih i loših posljedica čak i u ovom životu. Stoga teži k yogi, koja predstavlja umjetnost sveg djelovanja.
- TEXT 51:
- By thus engaging in devotional service to the Lord, great sages or devotees free themselves from the results of work in the material world. In this way they become free from the cycle of birth and death and attain the state beyond all miseries [by going back to Godhead].
- STIH 51:
- Predano služeći Gospodina, veliki mudraci ili bhakte oslobađaju se posljedica djelovanja u materijalnom svijetu. Tako se oslobađaju kruga rođenja i smrti i dostižu položaj transcendentalan prema svim bijedama [vraćajući se Bogu].
- TEXT 52:
- When your intelligence has passed out of the dense forest of delusion, you shall become indifferent to all that has been heard and all that is to be heard.
- STIH 52:
- Kada tvoja inteligencija izađe iz guste šume iluzije, postat ćeš ravnodušan prema svemu što si čuo i prema svemu što ćeš čuti.
- TEXT 53:
- When your mind is no longer disturbed by the flowery language of the Vedas, and when it remains fixed in the trance of self-realization, then you will have attained the divine consciousness.
- STIH 53:
- Kada se tvoj um utemelji u zanosu samospoznaje, neuznemiren kitnjastim jezikom Veda, dostići ćeš božansku svjesnost.
- TEXT 54:
- Arjuna said: O Kṛṣṇa, what are the symptoms of one whose consciousness is thus merged in transcendence? How does he speak, and what is his language? How does he sit, and how does he walk?
- STIH 54:
- Arjuna reče: O Kṛṣṇa, po kojim se obilježjima može prepoznati osoba tako utemeljena u transcendentalnoj svjesnosti? O čemu govori i kojim jezikom? Kako sjedi i kako hoda?
- TEXT 55:
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: O Pārtha, when a man gives up all varieties of desire for sense gratification, which arise from mental concoction, and when his mind, thus purified, finds satisfaction in the self alone, then he is said to be in pure transcendental consciousness.
- STIH 55:
- Svevišnja Božanska Osoba reče: O Pārtha, kada čovjek odbaci sve vrste želja za osjetilnim uživanjem, koje nastaju iz umne spekulacije, i pročišćena uma nalazi zadovoljstvo samo u jastvu, kaže se da ima čistu transcendentalnu svjesnost.
- TEXT 56:
- One who is not disturbed in mind even amidst the threefold miseries or elated when there is happiness, and who is free from attachment, fear and anger, is called a sage of steady mind.
- STIH 56:
- Onaj tko nije uznemiren čak ni usred trostrukih bijeda, tko se ne zanosi srećom i tko je oslobođen vezanosti, straha i srdžbe, naziva se mudracem postojana uma.
- TEXT 57:
- In the material world, one who is unaffected by whatever good or evil he may obtain, neither praising it nor despising it, is firmly fixed in perfect knowledge.
- STIH 57:
- Onaj tko ne podliježe utjecaju dobra i zla koji ga mogu snaći u materijalnom svijetu, koji ih niti hvali niti prezire, čvrsto je utemeljen u savršenu znanju.
- TEXT 58:
- One who is able to withdraw his senses from sense objects, as the tortoise draws its limbs within the shell, is firmly fixed in perfect consciousness.
- STIH 58:
- Onaj tko može povući svoja osjetila od predmeta osjetila, kao što kornjača uvlači svoje noge u oklop, čvrsto je utemeljen u savršenoj svjesnosti.
- TEXT 59:
- Though the embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness.
- STIH 59:
- Utjelovljena se duša može suzdržavati od osjetilnog uživanja, premda i dalje osjeća privlačnost prema predmetima osjetila, ali ako okusi uzvišeniju draž odbacuje takve sklonosti i biva utemeljena u postojanoj svjesnosti.
- TEXT 60:
- The senses are so strong and impetuous, O Arjuna, that they forcibly carry away the mind even of a man of discrimination who is endeavoring to control them.
- STIH 60:
- Osjetila su tako snažna i neobuzdana, o Arjuna, da silom odvlače um čak i čovjeka koji posjeduje moć razlučivanja i koji se trudi da njima ovlada.
- TEXT 61:
- One who restrains his senses, keeping them under full control, and fixes his consciousness upon Me, is known as a man of steady intelligence.
- STIH 61:
- Onaj tko suzdržava svoja osjetila, potpuno vladajući njima, i usredotočuje svoju svjesnost na Mene, poznat je kao čovjek postojane inteligencije.
- TEXT 62:
- While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.
- STIH 62:
- Dok razmišlja o predmetima osjetila, osoba razvija vezanost za njih. Iz takve vezanosti razvija se požuda, a iz požude nastaje srdžba.
- TEXT 63:
- From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool.
- STIH 63:
- Iz srdžbe nastaje potpuna iluzija, a iz iluzije pomračenost pamćenja. Kada je pamćenje pomračeno, osoba gubi inteligenciju, a kada izgubi inteligenciju ponovno pada u materijalni vrtlog.
- TEXT 64:
- But a person free from all attachment and aversion and able to control his senses through regulative principles of freedom can obtain the complete mercy of the Lord.
- STIH 64:
- Ali osoba oslobođena sve vezanosti i odbojnosti, koja može vladati svojim osjetilima slijedeći propisana načela slobode, može steći potpunu milost Gospodina.
- TEXT 65:
- For one thus satisfied [in Kṛṣṇa consciousness], the threefold miseries of material existence exist no longer; in such satisfied consciousness, one’s intelligence is soon well established.
- STIH 65:
- Za onoga tko je tako zadovoljan [u svjesnosti Kṛṣṇe] trostruke bijede materijalnog postojanja više ne postoje. U takvoj zadovoljnoj svjesnosti njegova inteligencija ubrzo postaje čvrsto utemeljena.
- TEXT 66:
- One who is not connected with the Supreme [in Kṛṣṇa consciousness] can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace?
- STIH 66:
- Onaj tko nije povezan sa Svevišnjim [u svjesnosti Kṛṣṇe] ne može imati ni transcendentalnu inteligenciju ni postojan um. Bez njih ne može naći mir, a bez mira nema sreće.
- TEXT 69:
- What is night for all beings is the time of awakening for the self-controlled; and the time of awakening for all beings is night for the introspective sage.
- STIH 69:
- Ono što je noć za sva bića vrijeme je buđenja za samoovladanu osobu, a ono što je vrijeme buđenja za sva bića noć je za introspektivnog mudraca.
- TEXT 70:
- A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires – that enter like rivers into the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still – can alone achieve peace, and not the man who strives to satisfy such desires.
- STIH 70:
- Želje dolaze kao što se rijeke ulijevaju u ocean, koji se uvijek puni vodom, ali ostaje miran. Samo onaj tko nije uznemiren neprestanim tijekom želja može dostići mir, a ne onaj tko nastoji zadovoljiti takve želje.
- TEXT 71:
- A person who has given up all desires for sense gratification, who lives free from desires, who has given up all sense of proprietorship and is devoid of false ego – he alone can attain real peace.
- STIH 71:
- Samo osoba koja je odbacila sve želje za zadovoljavanjem osjetila, koja je, oslobođena želja, odbacila svaki osjećaj vlasništva i koja nema lažni ego može dostići pravi mir.
- TEXT 72:
- That is the way of the spiritual and godly life, after attaining which a man is not bewildered. If one is thus situated even at the hour of death, one can enter into the kingdom of God.
- STIH 72:
- To je duhovni, božanski život. Onaj tko ga dostigne više nije zbunjen. Ako ostane utemeljen u njemu čak i u trenutku smrti, može ući u Božje Carstvo.
