2. With (these) seemingly confusing words, Thou art, as it were, bewildering my understanding. Tell me decidedly that one by which I can attain to the highest. With (these) seemingly confusing nwJ.y-Undoubter.edly, the Lord is of faultless speech ; yet to me, of dull understanding, His teaching appears to be confusing. Thereby, Thou art, as it were, bewildering my understanding. (Arjuna means :) Thou art indeed engaged in dispelling my mental delusion ; how couldst Thou at all bewilder me? Therefore, I say that Thou art as it were bewildering my understanding. (He continues :) If Thou thinkest that, being intended for different (classes of) persons, Knowledge and action are impossible of being practised by one (and the same) person, then, in that case, tell me decidedly that one. Knowledge or action, that which you determine as appropriate for (me), Arjuna, in accordance with his (my) intelligence, capacity and condition,[1] by which. Knowledge or action, can attain to the highest. |
