TEXT 4

yad āha yogeśvara dṛśyamānaṁ
kriyā-phalaṁ sad-vyavahāra-mūlam
na hy añjasā tattva-vimarśanāya
bhavān amuṣmin bhramate mano me


SYNONYMS

yat — that which; āha — have said; yoga-īśvara — O master of mystic power; dṛśyamānam — being clearly seen; kriyā-phalam — the results of moving the body here and there, such as feeling fatigue; sat — existing; vyavahāra-mūlam — whose basis is etiquette alone; na — not; hi — certainly; añjasā — on the whole, or in fact; tattva-vimarśanāya — for understanding the truth by consultation; bhavān — your good self; amuṣmin — in that explanation; bhramate — is bewildered; manaḥ — mind; me — my.


TRANSLATION

O master of yogic power, you said that fatigue resulting from moving the body here and there is appreciated by direct perception, but actually there is no fatigue. It simply exists as a matter of formality. By such inquiries and answers, no one can come to the conclusion of the Absolute Truth. Because of your presentation of this statement, my mind is a little disturbed.


PURPORT

Formal inquiries and answers about the bodily conception do not constitute knowledge of the Absolute Truth. Knowledge of the Absolute Truth is quite different from the formal understanding of bodily pains and pleasures. In Bhagavad-gītā Lord Kṛṣṇa informs Arjuna that the pains and pleasures experienced in relation to the body are temporary; they come and go. One should not be disturbed by them but should tolerate them and continue with spiritual realization (BG 2.14).
