My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Being deluded by these three strands of nature, this entire world does not recognize Me, who am eternal and transcend these strands.

Shri Purohit Swami

The inhabitants of the world, misled by those natures which the Qualities have engendered, know not that I am higher than them all, and that I do not change.

Swami Adidevananda

The entire universe is deluded by these three states originating from the Gunas (of Prakrti), and fails to recognise Me, who am beyond them and immutable.

Swami Gambirananda

All this world, deluded as it is by these three things made of the gunas (qualities), does not know Me who am transcendental to these and undecaying.

Swami Sivananda

Deluded by these Natures (states or things) composed of the three qualities of Nature, all this world does not know Me as distinct from them and immutable.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

The deluded evil-doers, the vilest of men, who are robbed of knowledge by the trick of illusion and have taken refuge in the demonic nature—they do not resort to Me.

Shri Purohit Swami

The sinner, the ignorant, the vile, deprived of spiritual perception by the glamour of Illusion, and he who pursues a godless life - none of them shall find Me.

Swami Adidevananda

The evil-doers, the foolish, the lowest of men, those persons deprived of knowledge by delusion (Maya) and those who are dominated by demoniac nature - they do not seek refuge in Me.

Swami Gambirananda

The foolish evildoers, who are the most depraved among men, who are deprived of (their) wisdom by Maya, and who resort to demoniacal ways, do not take refuge in Me.

Swami Sivananda

The evil-doers and the deluded, who are the lowest of men, do not seek Me; they whose knowledge is destroyed by illusion follow the ways of demons.

My Personal Gita

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

This is My divine play, composed of the strands of illusion, and it is hard to cross over. Those who take refuge in Me alone, they cross over the illusion.

Shri Purohit Swami

Verily, this Divine Illusion of Phenomenon manifesting itself in the Qualities is difficult to surmount. Only they who devote themselves to Me and to Me alone can accomplish it.

Swami Adidevananda

(a) For this divine Maya or Mine consisting of the three Gunas (assumed for purposes of sport) is hard to overcome৷৷.

Swami Gambirananda

Since this divine Maya of Mine which is constituted by the gunas is difficult to cross over, (therefore) those who take refuge in Me alone cross over this Maya.

Swami Sivananda

Verily this divine illusion of Mine made up of the qualities (of Nature) is difficult to cross over; those who take refuge in Me alone cross over this illusion.
