Chapter 16
Daivaasurasampadvibhaga Yoga
4 – 5 – 6 - 7. Pretension, arrogance, excessive pride, anger, harshness and non-awareness – these constitute the attributes of one who is born of non-divine nature. The divine attributes are for deliverance and non-divine attributes are for bondage. Do not grieve, O Arjuna, you are born with divine attributes. Creatures of these two attributes - divine and non-divine, are created in this world. The divine attributes have been extensively spoken to you; now listen from me about the non-divine ones. Performance of actions nor renunciation of actions are known to men with the non-divine attributes. Neither purity nor good behaviour, nor Truth is known to them.
Bhashya :- Associated with divine endowments. This is the purport.
8 - 9. Unreal is this world, they say. Neither established by any Supreme Lord nor established by mutual causal relationship; what else is it but the result of carnal desire ? Performance of actions nor renunciation of actions are known to men with the non-divine attributes. Neither purity nor good behaviour, nor Truth is known to them.
Bhashya :- The world is real and established by the Supreme Lord, Sri Vishnu. Contrary to this is spoken by them. Therefore, upanishads say it is the Truth of the Truths. Primal Breath is, verily, the Truth. Of them This is the Truth. This, according to scriptures – “Two-fold are the forms of Brahman, manifest and unmanifest. Of them the established form is the Truth”. Thus in Prachinashala scripture – “Therefore is the upanishad that It is the Truth of the Truth, because He alone destroys and controls”. aparaspar sambhutam means that one is not born from the other. We have already pointed out earlier that “From food are born the creatures” etc.
