My Personal Gita
With my very nature, overpowered by the taint of pity, and with my mind, utterly confused as to the right action at this present juncture, I ask you: Tell me definitely what would be good for me; I am your pupil; please teach me, who is taking refuge in You.
My heart is oppressed with pity; and my mind confused as to what my duty is. Therefore, my Lord, tell me what is best for my spiritual welfare, for I am Thy disciple. Please direct me, I pray.
With my heart stricken by the fault of weak compassion, with my mind perplexed about my duty, I reest you to say for certain what is good for me. I am your disciple. Teach me who have taken refuge in you.
With my nature overpowered by weak commiseration, with a mind bewildered about duty, I supplicate You. Tell me for certain that which is better; I am Your disciple. Instruct me who have taken refuge in You.
My heart is overpowered by the taint of pity, my mind is confused as to duty. I ask Thee: tell me decisively what is good for me. I am Thy disciple. Instruct me who has taken refuge in Thee.
