Rāja-Vidyā Rāja-Guhya Yoga (राजविद्या राजगुह्य योग) — The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret
क्योंकि यह अलौकिक अर्थात्र अति अद्भुत त्रिगुणमयी मेरी माया बड़ी दुस्तर है; परंतु जो पुरुष केवल मुझको ही निरन्तर भजते हैं, वे इस मायाको उल्लंघन कर जाते हैं अर्थात् संसारसे तर जाते हैं? ।।
na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ | māyayāpahṛta-jñānā āsuraṁ bhāvam āśritāḥ ||
主は、なぜすべての者が主に帰依しないのかを説く。悪業に固執し、迷妄に沈み、人の中で道を踏み外した卑しき者どもは、我に身を委ねない。彼らの分別はマーヤーに奪われ、アスラ的(反神的)な性向に執着するがゆえに、世の束縛を越えさせる唯一の道である信愛から背を向けるのである。
अजुन उवाच
Not everyone turns to the Lord because unethical action and delusion reinforce each other: Māyā clouds discernment, and an asuric disposition resists surrender. Devotion and refuge are presented as the practical means to cross beyond Māyā, but they require moral and spiritual receptivity.
After stating that Māyā is difficult to overcome yet can be transcended by exclusive devotion, the discourse addresses an implied doubt—why all people do not simply worship. The Lord answers by classifying those who refuse surrender: wrongdoers, deluded persons, the morally fallen, whose understanding is eclipsed by Māyā and who adopt an asuric outlook.
