Bhagavad Gita · Purushottama YogaChapter 15, Shloka 10 (15.10)
Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्
उत्क्रामन्तं स्थितं वाऽपि भुञ्जानं वा गुणान्वितम्
विमूढा नानुपश्यन्ति पश्यन्ति ज्ञानचक्षुषः
॥ 15.10 ॥
utkrāmantaṃ sthitaṃ vā'pi bhuñjānaṃ vā guṇānvitam
vimūḍhā nānupaśyanti paśyanti jñānacakṣuṣaḥ
Translation
"Whether departing from the body, staying in it, or enjoying in union with the gunas — the deluded do not see it; those with the eye of knowledge see."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. vimūḍhāḥ dṛṣṭādṛṣṭaviṣayabhogabalākṛṣṭacetastayā — because their minds are dragged along by the force of enjoyment; aho kaṣṭaṃ vartate iti anukrośati ca bhagavān — the Lord feels compassion; jñānacakṣuṣaḥ viviktadṛṣṭayaḥ.
Acharya Ramanuja. vimūḍhāḥ manuṣyatvādipiṇḍātmābhimāninaḥ — those who take the body itself to be the Self; jñānacakṣuṣaḥ tu piṇḍātmavivekaviṣayajñānavantaḥ.
