Translation

This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost.

Ta najvišja znanost se je prenašala po nasledstvu duhovnih učiteljev in sveti kralji so bili poučeni o njej na ta način. Sčasoma pa se je nasledstvo duhovnih učiteljev prekinilo, zato je znanost v svoji izvorni obliki navidez izgubljena.

Purport

It is clearly stated that the Gītā was especially meant for the saintly kings because they were to execute its purpose in ruling over the citizens. Certainly Bhagavad-gītā was never meant for the demonic persons, who would dissipate its value for no one’s benefit and would devise all types of interpretations according to personal whims. As soon as the original purpose was scattered by the motives of the unscrupulous commentators, there arose the need to reestablish the disciplic succession. Five thousand years ago it was detected by the Lord Himself that the disciplic succession was broken, and therefore He declared that the purpose of the Gītā appeared to be lost. In the same way, at the present moment also there are so many editions of the Gītā (especially in English), but almost all of them are not according to authorized disciplic succession. There are innumerable interpretations rendered by different mundane scholars, but almost all of them do not accept the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, although they make a good business on the words of Śrī Kṛṣṇa. This spirit is demonic, because demons do not believe in God but simply enjoy the property of the Supreme. Since there is a great need of an edition of the Gītā in English, as it is received by the paramparā (disciplic succession) system, an attempt is made herewith to fulfill this great want. Bhagavad-gītā – accepted as it is – is a great boon to humanity; but if it is accepted as a treatise of philosophical speculations, it is simply a waste of time.

Iz tega verza je jasno, da je bila Gītā posebej namenjena svetim kraljem, kajti naloga le-teh je bila, da pri vladanju uresničijo njene cilje. Bhagavad-gītā ni bila nikoli namenjena demonskim ljudem, ki bi v nikogaršnjo korist izničili njeno vrednost in jo na najrazličnejše načine po svoje razlagali. Ko so brezvestni komentatorji popačili njen pravi pomen, se je pojavila potreba po ponovni vzpostavitvi nasledstva duhovnih učiteljev. Pred pet tisoč leti je sam Gospod opazil, da je nasledstvo duhovnih učiteljev prekinjeno, zato je dejal, da je smisel Gīte navidez izgubljen. Dandanes obstaja veliko izdaj Bhagavad-gīte (zlasti v angleščini), vendar se skoraj nobena ne ujema z naukom verodostojnega nasledstva duhovnih učiteljev. Posvetni učenjaki jo razlagajo na nešteto načinov, skoraj nihče med njimi pa ne priznava Vsevišnje Božanske Osebnosti, Kṛṣṇe, čeprav jim Śrī Kṛṣṇove besede prinašajo lep zaslužek. Tako ravnajo demoni, ki ne verjamejo v Boga, temveč samo uživajo Njegovo lastnino. Zaradi velike potrebe po izdaji Gīte, kakršna se je prenašala po paramparā (nasledstvu duhovnih učiteljev), poskušamo s to izdajo vrzel zapolniti. Kdor sprejme Bhagavad-gīto táko, kakršna je, bo imel od tega veliko korist, kdor jo proučuje kot navadno filozofsko razpravo, pa samo zapravlja čas.
