Arjuna’s Lament, the End of the Yadus, and the Pāṇḍavas’ Departure
यस्य क्षणवियोगेन लोको ह्यप्रियदर्शन: । उक्थेन रहितो ह्येष मृतक: प्रोच्यते यथा ॥ ६ ॥
yasya kṣaṇa-viyogena loko hy apriya-darśanaḥ ukthena rahito hy eṣa mṛtakaḥ procyate yathā
Aquel cuya separación por un solo instante vuelve desfavorables y vacíos a todos los mundos—lo he perdido; sin Él, este universo es como un cuerpo sin vida, sin himnos de alabanza.
Factually for a living being there is no one dearer than the Lord. The Lord expands Himself by innumerable parts and parcels as svāṁśa and vibhinnāṁśa. Paramātmā is the svāṁśa part of the Lord, whereas the vibhinnāṁśa parts are the living beings. As the living being is the important factor in the material body, for without the living being the material body has no value, similarly without Paramātmā the living being has no status quo. Similarly, Brahman or Paramātmā has no locus standi without the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa. This is thoroughly explained in the Bhagavad-gītā. They are all interlinked with one another, or interdependent factors; thus in the ultimate issue the Lord is the summum bonum and therefore the vital principle of everything.
FAQs
This verse says that even momentary separation from Krishna makes the world seem unbearable, showing that true devotion experiences life’s meaning only in connection with Him.
Because without remembrance and praise of the Lord (uktha), worldly existence lacks spiritual life; it may continue externally, but it is compared to a corpse—devoid of real purpose and joy.
Keep daily Krishna-smarana and kirtan (hearing/chanting His names and qualities); it restores inner vitality and protects the heart from feeling empty despite material activity.
