Translations
How shall I, ever meditating, know you, O Yogin? In what aspects or things, O blessed Lord, should I think of you?
O Master! How can I, through constant meditation, come to know You? My Lord! What are Your various manifestations through which I can meditate on You?
O Yogi, how shall I know You by remaining ever-engaged in meditation? And through what objects, O Lord, should I meditate on You?
हे योगिन् ! हरदम साङ्गोपाङ्ग चिन्तन करता हुआ मैं आपको कैसे जानूँ ? और हे भगवन् ! किन-किन भावोंमें आप मेरे द्वारा चिन्तन किये जा सकते हैं अर्थात् किन-किन भावोंमें मैं आपका चिन्तन करूँ ?Commentary
Arjuna says O Lord, how may I know Thee by constant meditation In what aspects art Thou to be thought of by me Even when I think of external objects I can meditate on Thee in Thy particular manifestations in them if I have a detailed knowledge of Thy glories. Therefore deign to tell me, without reserve, of Thy own glories. Then only can I behold oneness everywhere.
