Bhagavad Gita 4.36 meaning
api ched asi papebhyah sarvebhyah papakrittamah
sarvam jnanaplaven-aiva vrijinam santarishyasi
अपि चेदसि पापेभ्यः सर्वेभ्यः पापकृत्तमः।
सर्वं ज्ञानप्लवेनैव वृजिनं सन्तरिष्यसि॥
Even if you were the worst of all wrongdoers, you would cross over every sin on the raft of knowledge alone.
What it means
No past is too dark to be redeemed. However many mistakes you have made, clear understanding can carry you across. Do not let guilt convince you that change is impossible.How it helps in real life
- After a setback: Ashamed of lying to your parents about failing a year? Tell them the truth this week; honesty is the raft to cross over.
- In grief: Guilty you weren't there when your grandmother passed? Forgive yourself, learn about her life from relatives, and honour her through it.
हिंदी में अर्थ
अगर तुम सब पापियों में सबसे बड़े पापी भी हो, तब भी ज्ञान की नाव से तुम सारे पापों को पार कर जाओगे।
कोई अतीत इतना अंधेरा नहीं कि उससे उबरा न जा सके। आपने कितनी भी गलतियाँ की हों, सच्ची समझ आपको पार ले जा सकती है। अपराधबोध को यह न कहने दें कि बदलाव असंभव है।
Spoken by Krishna.
