Sanskrit recitation
When the mind will not stay · 6.33–6.47 · Teaching
Translation
O Krishna, please completely dispel this doubt of mine, for it is not possible for anyone but You to do so.
Hindi translation
हे कृष्ण! मेरे इस सन्देहका सर्वथा छेदन करनेके लिये आप ही योग्य हैं; क्योंकि इस संशयका छेदन करनेवाला आपके सिवाय दूसरा कोई हो नहीं सकता।
Meaning
There can be no better teacher than Thee for Thou art the omniscient Lord. Thou alone canst dispel this doubt. A Rishi (seer), a Deva (god), or a Muni (sage) will not be able to destroy this doubt.
After Swami Sivananda
