Translation

Translation

My dear Arjuna, O winner of wealth, if you cannot fix your mind upon Me without deviation, then follow the regulative principles of bhakti-yoga. In this way develop a desire to attain Me.

Dragi Moj Arjuna, o osvojitelj bogastva, če uma ne moreš neomajno osredotočiti Name, potem se drži regulativnih načel bhakti-yoge. Tako boš razvil željo, da Me dosežeš.

In this verse, two different processes of bhakti-yoga are indicated. The first applies to one who has actually developed an attachment for Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by transcendental love. And the other is for one who has not developed an attachment for the Supreme Person by transcendental love. For this second class there are different prescribed rules and regulations one can follow to be ultimately elevated to the stage of attachment to Kṛṣṇa.

Ta verz govori o dveh vrstah bhakti-yoge. Prva se nanaša na bhakte, ki so razvili transcendentalno ljubezen do Kṛṣṇe, Vsevišnje Božanske Osebnosti, druga pa je namenjena tistim, ki takšne ljubezni še niso razvili. Zanje obstajajo razna pravila, z upoštevanjem katerih lahko nazadnje postanejo vdani Kṛṣṇi.

Bhakti-yoga is the purification of the senses. At the present moment in material existence the senses are always impure, being engaged in sense gratification. But by the practice of bhakti-yoga these senses can become purified, and in the purified state they come directly in contact with the Supreme Lord. In this material existence, I may be engaged in some service to some master, but I don’t really lovingly serve my master. I simply serve to get some money. And the master also is not in love; he takes service from me and pays me. So there is no question of love. But for spiritual life, one must be elevated to the pure stage of love. That stage of love can be achieved by practice of devotional service, performed with the present senses.

Bhakti-yoga je metoda za očiščenje čutov. Dokler smo materialno pogojeni, so naši čuti nečisti, saj poskušamo z njimi zadovoljiti sami sebe. Če se posvetimo bhakti-yogi, pa jih očistimo, in takrat pridejo v neposreden stik z Vsevišnjim Gospodom. V materialnem življenju služabnik ne služi svojemu gospodarju iz ljubezni, temveč samo zato, da bi dobil denar. Gospodar prav tako ne ljubi služabnika, ampak le sprejme njegovo delo in ga plača. O ljubezni torej ni govora. V duhovnem življenju pa se moramo dvigniti na stopnjo čiste ljubezni do Boga. To stopnjo lahko dosežemo, če služimo Gospodu in pri tem uporabljamo svoje zdajšnje čute.

This love of God is now in a dormant state in everyone’s heart. And, there, love of God is manifested in different ways, but it is contaminated by material association. Now the heart has to be purified of the material association, and that dormant, natural love for Kṛṣṇa has to be revived. That is the whole process.

Ljubezen do Boga je uspavana v srcu vsakega živega bitja. Izraža se na različne načine, vendar pa zaradi stika z materijo ni čista. Zato moramo iz srca odstraniti nečistoče, ki se porajajo ob stiku z materijo, in obuditi v njem svojo izvorno ljubezen do Kṛṣṇe. To je vse, kar moramo storiti.

To practice the regulative principles of bhakti-yoga one should, under the guidance of an expert spiritual master, follow certain principles: one should rise early in the morning, take bath, enter the temple and offer prayers and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, then collect flowers to offer to the Deity, cook foodstuffs to offer to the Deity, take prasādam, and so on. There are various rules and regulations which one should follow. And one should constantly hear Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from pure devotees. This practice can help anyone rise to the level of love of God, and then he is sure of his progress into the spiritual kingdom of God. This practice of bhakti-yoga, under the rules and regulations, with the direction of a spiritual master, will surely bring one to the stage of love of God.

Kdor živi po načelih bhakti-yoge, se pod vodstvom izvedenega duhovnega učitelja drži določenih pravil: zgodaj vstane, se okopa, odide v tempelj in moli h Gospodu, poje Hare Kṛṣṇa, nabere cvetje in ga daruje Božanstvu, kuha za Božanstvo, uživa prasādam in tako dalje. Bhakta se mora držati številnih pravil. Poleg tega mora redno poslušati Bhagavad-gīto in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, kot ju razlagajo čisti bhakte. Tak način življenja vsakomur omogoča, da razvije ljubezen do Boga in potem zagotovo odide k Njemu, v duhovno kraljestvo. Kdor se ukvarja z bhakti-yogo in se pod vodstvom duhovnega učitelja drži pravil, nedvomno razvije ljubezen do Boga.
