Sanskrit recitation
Knowledge that cuts doubt · 4.34–4.42 · Teaching
Translation
Knowing that thou shalt not, O Arjuna, again be deluded like this; and by that thou shalt see all beings in thyself and also in me.
Hindi translation
जिस- (तत्त्वज्ञान-) का अनुभव करनेके बाद तू फिर इस प्रकार मोहको नहीं प्राप्त होगा, और हे अर्जुन ! जिस- (तत्त्वज्ञान-) से तू सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंको निःशेषभावसे पहले अपनेमें और उसके बाद मुझ सच्चिदानन्दघन परमात्मामें देखेगा।
Meaning
That, the knowledge of the Self mentioned in the previous verse, that is to be learnt from the Brahmanishtha Guru through prostration, estioning and service. When you acire this knowledge you will not be again subject to confusion or error. You will behold that underlying basic unity. You will behold or directly cognise through internal experience or intuition that all beings from the Creator down to a blade of grass exist in your own Self and also in Me. (Cf.IX.15XVIII.20)
