ဂုဏ်သုံးပါးမှ စူထရ (ပဓာန) ပေါ်ထွန်းလာပြီး ၎င်းနှင့်အတူ မဟတ်-တတ္တဝလည်း တွဲဖက်ပေါ်လာသည်။ ထို့နောက် မဟတ်-တတ္တဝ ပြောင်းလဲရာမှ အဟင်္ကာရ ပေါ်ပေါက်ကာ ဇီဝများ၏ မောဟကို ဖြစ်စေသည်။
According to Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī, sūtra is the first transformation of material nature that manifests the potency of activity, and it is accompanied by the mahat-tattva, which is endowed with the potency of knowledge. In the material world, one’s real knowledge is covered by fruitive activity and mental speculation. As one’s devotional service to the Lord slackens, these two tendencies grow automatically, just as the diminishing of light automatically brings an increase in darkness.
FAQs
This verse explains that when the mahat-tattva (cosmic intelligence) transforms, the deluding principle of ahaṅkāra arises, producing the sense of “I” that conditions the soul’s experience of the material world.
In the Uddhava-gītā teachings, Kṛṣṇa describes creation and the inner mechanics of bondage so Uddhava can understand how identification with matter begins and how devotion and right knowledge free one from illusion.
Recognize when the “I” and “mine” impulse drives decisions; practice humility, service, and remembrance of the Lord to weaken false identification and respond with clarity rather than ego.
