अध्याय ५

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

तें देखिलिया कृष्णें जाणितलें I मग हांसोनि पार्थातें म्हणितलें I काई पां चित्त उवाइलें I इये बोलीं तुझें II 162 II
तंव अर्जुं म्हणे देवो I परचित्तलक्षणाचा रावो I भला जाणितला जी भावो I मानसु माझा II 163 II
म्यां जें काहीं विवरूनि पुसावें I तें आधींचि जाणितलें देवें I तरी बोलिलें तेंचि सांगावें I विवळ करूनि II 164 II
एऱ्हवीं तरी अवधारा I जो दाविला तुम्हीं अनुसारा I तो पव्हण्याहूनि पायउतारा I सोहपा जैसा II 165 II
तैसा सांख्याहूनि प्रांजळा I आम्हांसारिखिया अबळां I एथ आहाति परि कांहीं काळा I तो साहों ये वर II 166 II
म्हणोनि एक वेळ देवा I तोचि पडताळा घेयावा I विस्तरेल तरी सांगावा I साद्यंतुचि II 167 II

"Lord Krishna didn't fail to notice the perplexed Arjun. With a knowing smile He said, I hope you find my explanation satisfactory. On that Arjun replied, O'Beloved Lord You read my mind perfectly. You have already explained beforehand everything I wanted to ask. But still it would be better if you lay down the gist of it in brief once again. Just like treading along the shoreline is better way to go across than swimming the deep waters, so is Yogic path comparitively easy to us mundane people than following the Dnyan Marga, the path of KNOWLEDGE. It may take some time to get hold of it, but it is manageable. And therefore my Beloved Lord, please explain it to me once again."
