Chapter 16
Link:- The Lord in the next verse, refers the fruit of both the divine and the demoniac natures, and cheers Arjuna by declaring, that he is born with divine nature.
daivi sampadvimoksaya nibandhayasuri maid
ma meal sampadath daivimabhijato'si pandava
Divine nature, is conducive to liberation and the demoniac leads to bondage. Grieve not, 0 Pandava (Arjuna), thou art born, with divine endowments. 5
Comment:-
Daivi sampadvimoksaya:- When a striver, is inclined towards the Lord with a firm determination, he develops, a disinclination for the world. With this disinclination, evil propensities of demoniac nature decrease, and good qualities of divine nature, are revealed. So, he gets interested, in the Lord's name, form, sport (pastime), virtues and life history etc.
The firmer a striver, is in his aim, the more, easily his real affinity, which has been since time immemorial with the Lord, is revealed to him, and so his assumed affinity with the world, perishes. Actually, he has no connection with the world, he has assumed his connection through his identification with the body. He regards the body as 'I', and also as 'mine'. As soon as, he renounces this assumed affinity, the divine nature, which leads to salvation, will be revealed in him.
