Yogīra Āsane Vasechila Viśvāmitra
yogīra āsane vasechila viśvāmitra
janma dila śakuntalā sundarī pavitra
yogīra-of the yogi; āsane-on the seat; vasechila-sat; viśvāmitra-Viswamitra; janma dila-caused the birth of; śakuntalā-Sakuntala; sundarī pavitra-beautiful and pure.
Viśvāmitra, the great yogi, sat upon his āsana (seat) in yogic meditation, but was distracted by desires for sense gratification when the heavenly society girl Menakā appeared before him. As a result, he left his meditation and fathered the beautiful and pure Sakuntala.
eibhāve yogabhraṣta jñānīra ki kathā
karmī saba mūḍha-jana vyathita sarvathā
eibhāve-in this way; yoga-bhraṣta-fallen from the discipline of yoga; jñānīra-of the jnani; ki kathā-what to speak of; karmī saba-all those who engage in regulated activities for sense gratification; mūḍha-jana-foolish people; vyathita-suffer pain; sarvathā-always.
This is the example of yogis who practice the mystic yoga system, so what to speak of jñānīs, those who practice the self-realization process of mental speculation, which is inferior to the path of yoga? There is no possibility of their completely controlling senses. As far as the karmis, or frutive workers, are concerned, their success is out of the question, since they are foolishly absorbed in material activities and are always separate from the transcendental process of self realization.
kṛṣṇa yāre kṛpā kari upadeśa dena
tini ta arjuna sama bhāgyavāna hana
kṛṣṇa-Kṛṣṇa; yāre-to whom; kṛpā kari-giving mercy; upadeśa-instruction; dena-gives; tini- to that person; arjuna-sama-like Arjuna; bhāgyavāna-greatly fortunate; hana-becomes.
Anyone who receives the instructions of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by His causeless mercy, and who follows them in his life is certainly as fortunate as Arjuna and therefore will achieve all success in life and return back home to Godhead.
āpanār sukha-lāgi yebā yuddha kare
durjodhaner mato se savaṁśete mare
āpanār-personal; sukha-lāgi-sense gratification; yebā-whoever; yuddha kare-fights; durjodhaner mato-like duryodhan; se-that person; savaṁśete-along with his dynasty; mare-vanquished.
On the other hand, those who are motivated with desires for material happiness and thus engage in the battle of the hard struggle for existence neglect the transcendental path of devotional service to the Lord. They can be compared to the King Duryodhana, and as he did, in spite of their best efforts, they shall perish along with all their family members.
