Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji
CHAPTER 2
Curiosity About Action
तस्माद्यस्य महाबाहो निगृहीतानि सर्वश:। [ ‘‘Therefore, O the mighty-armed (Arjun), the man who prevents his senses from straying to objects has a steady discrimination.” ] The man who restricts his senses from being drawn to their objects is a man of steady wisdom. “Arm” is a measure of the sphere of action. God is called “mighty-armed” (mahabahu), although he is bodiless and works everywhere without hands and feet. The one who becomes one with him or is inclined to him and is on the way to his sublime splendour is also therefore, “mighty-armed.” That is the significance of the use of this epithet for both Krishn and Arjun. |
