Shloka 30

Viśvarūpa-darśana (The Vision of the Universal Form) — महायोगेश्वरस्य विश्वरूपदर्शनम्

Devanagari script

अपिः चेत्‌ सुदुराचारो3 भजते मामनन्यभाक्‌ । साधुरेव स मन्तव्य: सम्यग्व्यवसितो हि सः

Transliteration

api cet sudurācāro bhajate mām ananyabhāk | sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ samyagvyavasito hi saḥ ||

Translation

纵使一人行止极恶，若能以不二之心专一奉我，亦当视为善人——因为他的志向已正。其伦理旨趣在于：真诚而专注地转向神圣，标志着内在的决定性改易；评断之时，当顾及这份能转化的意向，而不只拘泥于往昔过失。
