62. Take refuge in him alone, with your whole heart, O descendent of Bharata. You will attain by his grace, Supreme peace and the eternal abode. Just as the Ganga surrenders itself to the sea, you should surrender yourself completely to God. Then through his grace, you will become the Lord of the lady in the form of peace, and you will revel in the blissful experience of the Self (1316- 1320). You will then, become the eternal Self, from which the creation starts, where rest becomes restful and experience gains experience. So said Shri Krishna, the Lord of the goddess of wealth, to Partha. 63. Thus have I taught you wisdom, more secret than any other secret; fully ponder over it and do what you will. This famous sacred text, known as the Gita is the essence of Vedic literature and one gains the gem of Self, by its means. That which is current as knowledge and by praising whose glory, Vedanta became renowned in this world, of which all the intellectual subjects are a mere shadow, by which knowledge, I that behold all, am known (1321-1325) that knowledge of Self, is the secret treasure of Mine, who am unmanifest. But how can I hide it from you? O Arjuna, because I am extremely fond of you, I am entrusting this secret treasure to you. Just as a mother, crazy because of her love for her child, talks to it in a lively mood, will not My affection for you, make Me talk like that? |
