Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
जो मनुष्य जरा (बुढ़ापा) और मृत्यु से मुक्ति के लिए मेरा आश्रय लेकर यत्न करते हैं, वे उस ब्रह्म को, सम्पूर्ण अध्यात्म को और सम्पूर्ण कर्म को जान लेते हैं।
English Translation
Those who strive for liberation from old age and death, taking refuge in Me, come to know Brahman fully, the Self, and all about karma.
Commentary (टीका)
By taking refuge in Krishna and striving earnestly, seekers gain complete knowledge of the three great mysteries — Brahman (the Absolute), Adhyatma (the individual self), and Karma (the principle of action). This verse connects devotion with comprehensive spiritual understanding, showing that surrender to God unlocks all wisdom.
