IMPERSONAL BRAHMAN & PHILOSOPHICAL SPECULATION — IMPERSONALNI BRAHMAN & FILOZOFSKA ŠPEKULACIJA
24.107: There are two kinds of worshipers on the path of philosophical speculation — one is called brahma-upāsaka, a worshiper of the impersonal Brahman, and the other is called mokṣākāṅkṣī, one who desires liberation.
24.107: Na putu filozofske špekulacije postoje dvije vrste obožavalaca – brahma-upāsaka, obožavalac bezličnog Brahmana i mokṣākāṅkṣī – onaj ko želi oslobođenje.
24.108: There are three types of people who worship the impersonal Brahman. The first is the beginner, the second is one whose thoughts are absorbed in Brahman, and the third is one who is actually merged in the impersonal Brahman.
24.108: Impersonalni Brahman obožavaju tri vrste ljudi. Prvoj pripadaju početnici, drugoj oni koji meditiraju na Brahman, a trećoj oni koji se stapaju s impersonalnim Brahmanom.
24.109: One cannot attain liberation simply through philosophical speculation devoid of devotional service. However, if one renders devotional service, he is automatically on the Brahman platform.
24.109: Živo biće ne može dostići oslobođenje samo filozofskom špekulacijom bez predanog služenja. Međutim, ako predano služi, samim tim biva utemeljeno na razini Brahmana.
24.110: Characteristically, one in devotional service is attracted away from the impersonal Brahman platform. He is offered a transcendental body to engage in Lord Kṛṣṇa’s service
24.110: Predano služenje prirodno odvraća pažnju bhakte od spoznaje impersonalnog Brahmana. Takav bhakta dobija transcendentalno tijelo kojim može služiti Gospodina Kṛṣṇu.
24.111: When one gets a devotee’s spiritual body, he can remember the transcendental qualities of Kṛṣṇa. Simply by being attracted to Kṛṣṇa’s transcendental qualities, one becomes a pure devotee engaged in His service.
24.111: Kada osoba dobije duhovno tijelo bhakte, može se sjećati svih transcendentalnih odlika. Jednostavno osjećajući privlačnost prema Kṛṣṇinim transcendentalnim odlikama, postaje čisti bhakta zaokupljen služenjem Gospodina.
24.111 Purport: … Transcendentalists on the path of philosophical speculation can be divided into two categories — the pure worshipers of impersonal Brahman and those who wish to merge into the existence of impersonal Brahman
24.111 Purport: … Na putu filozofske špekulacije postoje dvije vrste transcendentalista – čisti obožavaoci impersonalnog [bezličnog, neosobnog] Brahmana i oni koji žele da se stope s postojanjem impersonalnog Brahmana.
