Chapter-10
The Divine Manifestation
11. Out of pure compassion for them, I, dwelling in their hearts, destroy the darkness born of ignorance with the shining lamp of wisdom. For those who have taken refuge in Me and regard all else as trash through devotion, O great warrior, I light the torch of camphor and walk in front of them as their torch-bearer even in broad daylight. For these devotees, I dispel the darkness of the night of primeval ignorance and bring them the dawning light of wisdom. When the Supreme person beloved of his devotees, spoke thus, Arjuna said, “Now all my desires are fulfilled. O Lord, you have swept away the dust of worldly existence and freed me from the cycle of birth and death (141-145). O God, I have seen with my own eyes the meaning of my birth, and I feel as if I have acquired now the art of living. O Lord, I received the grace to hear from your own mouth your sacred utterance and so have achieved the purpose of my life. Fortune has dawned upon me, and with the darkness of ignorance gone in the light of your utterance, I have received the true vision of your being.” |
