Bhagavad Gita 15.18 meaning
yasmat ksharam ateetoham aksharad api ch-ottamah
atosmi loke vede cha prathitah purushottamah
यस्मात्क्षरमतीतोऽहमक्षरादपि चोत्तमः।
अतोऽस्मि लोके वेदे च प्रथितः पुरुषोत्तमः॥
Because I am beyond the perishable and higher even than the imperishable, I am known in the world and in the Vedas as Purushottama, the Supreme Being.
What it means
Krishna explains the name Purushottama: the one beyond both what changes and what doesn't. The highest truth is not limited by any category we create.How it helps in real life
- With friends: Your friends keep debating whether God is personal or formless. Smile, say the highest truth is beyond both boxes, and order another round of chai.
- As a parent: Your daughter asks if God is a boy or a girl. Tell her God is bigger than any category, and draw a picture together.
हिंदी में अर्थ
क्योंकि मैं नाशवान से परे हूँ और अविनाशी से भी उत्तम हूँ, इसलिए संसार में और वेदों में मैं पुरुषोत्तम के नाम से प्रसिद्ध हूँ।
कृष्ण पुरुषोत्तम नाम का अर्थ बताते हैं: जो बदलने वाले और न बदलने वाले, दोनों से परे है। सबसे ऊँचा सत्य हमारी किसी भी परिभाषा में बंधता नहीं।
Spoken by Krishna.
