Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 BHAGAVAD-GITA 18:4 niscayam srnu me tatra tyage bharata-sattama tyago hi purusa-vyaghra tri-vidhah samprakirtitah WORD FOR WORD niscayam--certainty; srnu--hear; me--from Me; tatra--therein; tyage--in the matter of renunciation; bharata-sat-tama--O best of the Bharatas; tyagah--renunciation; hi--certainly; purusa-vyaghra--O tiger among human beings; tri-vidhah--of three kinds; samprakirtitah--is declared. TRANSLATION O best of the Bharatas, now hear My judgment about renunciation. O tiger among men, renunciation is declared in the scriptures to be of three kinds. PURPORT Although there are differences of opinion about renunciation, here the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, gives His judgment, which should be taken as final. After all, the Vedas are different laws given by the Lord. Here the Lord is personally present, and His word should be taken as final. The Lord says that the process of renunciation should be considered in terms of the modes of material nature in which they are performed. Copyright 1983 The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International.
