मनुष्याणां सहस्रेषु कश्िचद्यतति सिद्धये ।
यततामपि सिद्धानां कश्िचन्मां वेत्ति तत्त्वतः ॥
यततामपि सिद्धानां कश्िचन्मां वेत्ति तत्त्वतः ॥
हिन्दी अनुवाद
हजारों मनुष्योंमें कोई एक वास्तविक सिद्धिके लिये यत्न करता है और उन यत्न करनेवाले सिद्धोंमें कोई एक ही मुझे तत्त्वसे जानता है ॥
English
Among thousands of people, one may strive for perfection; among those striving, one may know Me in truth.
श्लोक का अर्थ
Many people try to reach perfection, but very few reach true understanding of Krishna. Effort is common; real realization is rare.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On the battlefield, Arjuna has already been told that Krishna can be known fully. Krishna now makes the point sharper: countless people seek achievement, but only a rare few come to know him as he truly is. This prepares Arjuna for a deeper teaching.
आज के संदर्भ में
You read a dozen books, follow every step, and still feel something missing. The gap is not more information — it is the rare shift into direct understanding.
सार
It leaves you humble: sincere effort matters, but deep understanding asks for more than effort alone.
