अध्याय तिसरा

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

तरी देवा हें ऐसें कैसें I जें ज्ञानियांही स्थिति भ्रंशे I मार्गु सांडुनी अनारिसे I चालत देखों II 232 II
सर्वज्ञुही जे होती I हेयोपादेयही जाणती I तेही परधर्में व्यभिचरती I कवणें गुणें II 233 II
बीजा आणि भुसा I अंधु निवाडु नेणे जैसा I नावेक देखणाही तैसा I बरळे कां पां II 234 II
जे असता संगु सांडिती I तेचि संसर्गु करितां न धाती I वनवासीही सेविती I जनपदातें II 235 II
आपण तरी लपती I सर्वस्वें पाप चुकविती I परी बळात्कारें सुइजती I तयाचिमाजी II 236 II
जयाची जीवें घेती विवसी I तेचि जडोनि ठाके जीवेंसी I चुकवितां ते गिंवसी I तयातेंचि II 237 II
ऐसा बलात्कारु एकु दिसे I तो कवणाचा एथ आग्रहो असे I हें बोलावें हृषीकेशें I पार्थु म्हणे II 238 II

"To be influenced by other's duties is something Arjun found very intriguing. He asked his beloved Lord Krishna, Lord please tell me why does it happen that even the wise stray from their self absorbed state ? Even those gifted with the power of discrimination between good and bad are attracted to doing things alien to their nature in turn violating their Swa-dharma. Just like a blind person fails to separate the chaff from grain, why is it so that even the wise get confused  and make mistakes? There are those with dispassion who live like a hermit but not for long and return back to the mundane existence again. And also there are those who hide from desires and thereby avoid the sin, why do they too get succumbed to it? The thing we hate often pulls us to it more powerfully. We cannot take it out of our mind. And oftentimes we are forced to do it against our will. What is it that compels even the wise to do such strange things urged Arjun to Lord Krishna."
