Shloka 28
Bhakti as the Supreme Process; Detachment and the Rudiments of Meditation
तस्मादसदभिध्यानं यथा स्वप्नमनोरथम् । हित्वा मयि समाधत्स्व मनो मद्भावभावितम् ॥ २८ ॥
tasmād asad-abhidhyānaṁ yathā svapna-manoratham hitvā mayi samādhatsva mano mad-bhāva-bhāvitam
ထို့ကြောင့် အိပ်မက်ကဲ့သို့ စိတ်ကူးယဉ်သာဖြစ်သော မမှန်ကန်သည့် ဝတ္ထုရေးရာ အာရုံစိုက်မှုများကို စွန့်လွှတ်၍ ငါ့အပေါ် ဘာဝ (ဘက္တိရသာ) ဖြင့် ပြည့်ဝသော စိတ်ကို ငါ၌ပင် အပြည့်အဝ စုစည်းထားလော့။ ငါကို အမြဲတမ်း တွေးတောခြင်းဖြင့် သန့်စင်လာသည်။
The word bhāvitam means “caused to be.” As explained in Bhagavad-gītā, material existence is an unstable platform subject to the constant disturbances of creation and annihilation. One who absorbs his consciousness in Kṛṣṇa, however, attains to Kṛṣṇa’s nature and is therefore described as mad-bhāva-bhāvitam, or one situated in real existence because of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The Lord here concludes His analysis of different processes of human perfection.
FAQs
This verse says to give up absorption in the unreal—thoughts like dreams and fantasies—and instead fix the mind steadily in Krishna, letting it become filled with His divine presence.
Krishna is instructing Uddhava on the final stage of spiritual practice: renouncing illusory mental absorption and establishing the mind in unwavering devotion (samadhi) to the Lord.
Treat anxious rumination and fantasy as “dreamlike,” redirect attention to Krishna through japa, kirtan, and remembrance, and repeatedly re-anchor the mind in devotional purpose until it becomes naturally Krishna-centered.
