Bhagavad Gita 3.36 meaning
atha kena prayuktoyam papam charati poorushah
anichchann api varshneya balad iva niyojitah
अथ केन प्रयुक्तोऽयं पापं चरति पूरुषः।
अनिच्छन्नपि वार्ष्णेय बलादिव नियोजितः॥
Then, Krishna, what is it that pushes a person to do wrong, even against their own wishes, as if forced into it?
What it means
We've all done things we knew were wrong and wondered why. Arjuna asks the question every human asks: what is this force that overpowers good intentions? Krishna's answer follows.How it helps in real life
- With money: Keep making impulse buys on EMI though you swore you'd stop? Write down what you felt just before the last purchase.
- In love & marriage: Said something hurtful to your partner even though you didn't want to? Apologise tonight, then ask yourself what triggered it.
हिंदी में अर्थ
हे वार्ष्णेय, फिर वह क्या है जो इंसान को न चाहते हुए भी, मानो ज़बरदस्ती, पाप करने पर मजबूर कर देता है?
हम सबने कभी न कभी जानते-बूझते गलत किया है और सोचा है—क्यों? अर्जुन वही सवाल पूछता है जो हर इंसान के मन में आता है।
Spoken by Arjuna.
