Shloka 4
🌟 Sanskrit:
अर्जुन उवाच | अपरं भवतो जन्म परं जन्म विवस्वतः |
कथमेतद्विजानीयां त्वमादौ प्रोक्तवानिति || 4.4 ||
🌟 Transliteration:
arjuna uvācha | aparaṁ bhavato janma paraṁ janma vivasvataḥ |
katham etad vijānīyāṁ tvam ādau proktavān iti ||
🌟 Meaning:
Arjuna said: Your birth is recent, while the birth of Vivasvan (the Sun-god) was long ago. How should I understand that You instructed him at the very beginning?
Explanation:
Arjuna respectfully challenges Krishna's claim. Krishna appears as Arjuna’s peer—born just a few decades ago—while Vivasvan, the Sun deity, existed at the beginning of cosmic time. With childlike honesty and a keen intellect, Arjuna asks how Krishna could possibly have taught the Sun-god so long ago. This query sets the stage for one of the Gita’s deepest teachings: the mystery of Krishna’s divine incarnation, and the timeless nature of cosmic knowledge.
Today’s Takeaway
Question with reverence. True wisdom grows from respectful questioning. Arjuna’s doubt is not irreverence—it is a sign of earnest seeking. When you encounter spiritual mysteries or seeming contradictions, approach with openness and humility. Sincere questions can open the door to profound revelation and deeper faith.
JAI SHRI KRISHNA👏💫🙌💛💞💝🙌🙇🙏
