अध्याय दुसरा

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

हे विषय जयातें नाकळिती I तया सुखदुःखें दोनी न पवती I आणि गर्भवासुसंगती I नाहीं तया II 123 II
तो नित्यरूप पार्था I वोळखावा सर्वथा I जो या इंद्रियार्थां I नांगवेचि II 124 II

"Lord Krishna said, those who are not affected by gratification of senses are saved from the otherwise unending cycle of death and rebirth.
Detachment or having a mind open to everything but attached to nothing in itself is liberation from the mundane existence."

आतां अर्जुना कांहीं एक I सांगेन मी आइक I जें विचारपर लोक I वोळखिती II 125 II
या उपाधीमाजीं गुप्त I चैतन्य असे सर्वगत I तें तत्वज्ञ संत I स्वीकारिती II 126 II
सलीलीं पय जैसें I एक होऊनि मीनलें असे I फरी निवडुनि राजहंसे I वेगळें कीजे II 127 II
कीं अग्निमुखें  किडाळ I तोडोनियां चोखाळ I निवडिती केवळ I बुद्धिमंत II 128 II
ना तरी जाणिवेच्या आयणी I करितां दधिकडसणी I मग नवनीत निर्वाणीं I दिसे जैसें II 129 II
कीं भूस बीज एकवट I उपणितां राहे घनवट I तेथ उडे तें फलकट I जाणों आलें II 130 II
तैसें विचारितां निरसलें I तें प्रपंचु सहजें सांडवलें I मग तत्त्वतां तत्व उरलें I ज्ञानियांसी II 131 II
म्हणोनी अनित्याच्या ठायीं I तयां आस्तिक्यबुद्धी नाहीं I निष्कर्षु दोहींही I देखिला असे II 132 II

Let me now tell you something that the truly wise understand very well said Lord Krishna to Arjun. There is the Ageless Universal Energy that pervades everywhere in the creation — the driving force within the Creation. Just like when presented with mixture of milk in water, the swan is believed to have the ability to separate milk from water and drink only the milk. The astute people subject gold to fire so that the impurities separate and the pure gold emerges. Just like churning separates the butter from the buttermilk, the truly wise with their deep reflection see the pure, divine essence within oneself separate from the impurities of the mind.
The winnowing basket separates the grain from the chaff by tossing the mixture into the air and letting the wind blow away the lighter chaff. Similarly the truly wise realize that  the allure of worldly attachment or Maya is only an illusion and behind all multiplicity of this manifold universe, there is but one Absolute Reality, the eternal Supreme Essence that persists in all its splendour."
