Chapter 9
Link:—The ignorant people, who without having an inclination for the Lord under whom the whole world is revolving, follow the opposite path, have been described in the next two verses.
avajananti mam mudha manusim tanumasritam
param, bhavamajananto mama bhatamahesvaram
Fools disregard Me on My taking on a human form, not knowing My supreme nature, as the Great Lord of beings. 11
Comment:-
Param bhavamajananto mama bhutamahesvaram:—The Great Lord, is He, Who is ruler, patron, director and supervisor of nature, from Whom, Nature derives power to create, preserve and destroy, the animate and inanimate beings, and Who is the master of the gods, who control their own worlds, to which different beings go, according to their actions. Wimout His will, not even a leaf of a tree moves. This, is His lordliness. This has been described here, by the expression, 'Bhutamahesvaram.
By 'Param bhavam', He means, that fools do not know His supreme nature, that He is free, to make any drastic change. They do not know, that He transcends the perishable Matter, is also superior to the imperishable soul, and He, is known as the Supreme Person, in the Vedas (GIta 15/18). So they ignore Him by taking Him as an ordinary mortal, in human form.
Manusim tanumasritam:—They, treat the Incarnation of the Lord, as an ordinary human being. As a common man, by identifying himself with the body, thinks that the family, honour or dishonour, is his own, and gain and loss of property etc., is also, his own. As common beings, were not manifest before birth and will not be manifest after death, they are manifest, only in the interim (2/28), and deluded persons, treat Him as a common man. They regard Him, as a slave to the human body, like a common man.
