Bhagavad Gita

In English by Swami Adidevananda

Out of compassion for them alone, I, abiding in their mental activity as its object, dispel the darkness born of ignorance with the brilliant lamp of knowledge.

In English by Swami Sivananda

Out of mere compassion for them, I, dwelling within their selves, destroy the darkness born of ignorance with the luminous lamp of knowledge.

In Hindi by Swami Ramsukhdas

।।10.11।। उन भक्तोंपर कृपा करनेके लिये ही उनके स्वरूप (होनेपन) में रहनेवाला मैं उनके अज्ञानजन्य अन्धकारको देदीप्यमान ज्ञानरूप दीपकके द्वारा सर्वथा नष्ट कर देता हूँ।

In English by Swami Sivananda

10.11 तेषाम् for them, एव mere, अनुकम्पार्थम् out of compassion, अहम् I, अज्ञानजम् born of ignorance, तमः darkness, नाशयामि (I) destroy, आत्मभावस्थः dwelling within their self, ज्ञानदीपेन by the lamp of knowledge, भास्वता luminous.Commentary Luminous lamp of knowledge The Lord dwells in the heart of the devotees who constantly think of Him and destroys the veil or the darkness born of ignorance due to the absence of discrimination, by the luminous lamp of knowledge fed by the oil of pure devotion, fanned by the wind of profound meditation on Him, provided with the wick of right intuition, generated by the constant cultivation of celibacy, piety and other divine virtues held in the chambers of the heart free from worldliness, placed in the innermost recesses of the mind free from the wind of senseattractions (withdrawn from the objects of the senses) and untainted by likes and dislikes, and shining with the light of knowledge of the Self caused by the constant practice of meditation.The lamp is not in need of an instrument or means or any sort of practice for the removal of darkness. The generation of the light itself is ite sufficient to remove the darkness. As soon as the darkness is removed by the light, the pot, the chair and the other articles are seen. Even so the dawn of knowledge of the Self itself is ite sufficient to remove ignorance. No other Karma or,practice is necessary. After the ignorance is removed by the knowledge of the Self, Brahman alone shines in Its pristine glory.

।।10.11।। व्याख्या--'तेषामेवानुकम्पार्थमहमज्ञानजं तमः'--उन भक्तोंके हृदयमें कुछ भी सांसारिक इच्छा नहीं, होती। इतना ही नहीं, उनके भीतर मुझे छोड़कर मुक्तितककी भी इच्छा नहीं होती (टिप्पणी प0 547)। अभिप्राय है कि वे न तो सांसारिक चीजें चाहते हैं और न पारमार्थिक चीजें (मुक्ति, तत्त्वबोध आदि) ही चाहते हैं। वे तो केवल प्रेमसे मेरा भजन ही करते हैं। उनके इस निष्कामभाव और प्रेमपूर्वक भजन करनेको देखकर मेरा हृदय द्रवित हो जाता है। मैं चाहता हूँ कि मेरे द्वारा उनकी कुछ सेवा बन जाय, वे मेरेसे कुछ ले लें। परन्तु वे मेरेसे कुछ लेते नहीं तो द्रवित हृदय होनेके कारण केवल उनपर कृपा करनेके लिये कृपा-परवश होकर मैं उनके अज्ञानजन्य अन्धकारको दूर कर देता हूँ। मेरे द्रवित हृदय होनेका कारण यह है कि मेरे भक्तोंमें किसी प्रकारकी किञ्चिन्मात्र भी कमी न रहे।
