Chapter-2
Sankhya and Yoga
7. My nature is stricken with fault of pity, and my mind is confused about my duty, Pray tell me for certain what is better; I am your disciple, guide me, who am your suppliant. I do not know what is proper for me to do; I am so bewildered by reason of this delusion (51-55). When the sight is enveloped by darkness, it cannot see even things close to it, such is my state. My perplexed mind cannot decide what is good for me. O Krishna, consider this and tell me what is proper in this case. You are our friend; you are all in all to us. You are our teacher, brother, father and also our favorite God. You have always been our protector in adversity. The teacher does not at all forsake his disciple, as the sea does not part from the river, which joins it (56-60). If a mother abandons her child, how will it survive? O Lord, you are our only friend, more so than to others, and if what I said does not appeal to you, then tell me quickly, O Supreme Person, what is proper for me to do, which is not contrary to dharma. |
