| Krishna.
He is not lost, thou Son of Pritha! No! Nor earth, nor heaven is
forfeit, even for him, Because no heart that holds one right desire
Treaded the road of loss! He who should fail, Desiring
righteousness, comed at death Unto the Region of the Just; dwells
there Measureless years, and being born anew, Beignned
life again
in some fair home Amid the mild and happy.
It may chance He doth descend into a Yogin house On Virtue's breast; but that is rare! Such birth Is hard to be obtained on this earth, Chief! So hath he back again what heights of heart He did achieve, and so he strives anew To perfectness, with better hope, dear Prince! For by the old desire he is drawn on Unwittingly; and only to desire The purity of Yog is to pass Beyond the Sabdabrahm, the spoken Ved. But, being Yogi, striving strong and long, Purged from transgressions, perfected by births Following on births, he plants his feet at last Upon the farther path. Such as one ranks Above ascetics, higher than the wise, Beyond achievers of vast deeds! Be thou Yogi Arjuna! And of such believe, Truest and best is he who worships Me With inmost soul, stayed on My Mystery! HERE ENDETH CHAPTER VI OF THE BHAGAVAD-GITA, Entitled "Atmasanyamayog," Or "The Book of Religion of Self-Restraint." |
