Sanskrit
यदा ते मोहकलिलं बुद्धिर्व्यतितरिष्यति। तदा गन्तासि निर्वेदं श्रोतव्यस्य श्रुतस्य च।।2.52।।
Transliteration
yadā te moha-kalilaṁ buddhir vyatitariṣhyati tadā gantāsi nirvedaṁ śhrotavyasya śhrutasya cha
In plain words
You are exhausted from trying to figure it all out—what you should know, what you still need to learn, what's the right next step. That endless mental churning is not your friend. Krishna says: when your mind finally stops grasping for one more answer, one more certainty, one more piece of the puzzle, you may find a peace that no amount of knowledge could give you. That quiet is where you actually begin to see clearly.
हिंदी अर्थ
जब तुम्हारी बुद्धि मोह और भ्रम से मुक्त हो जाएगी, तब तुम सभी सुनी और सुनने योग्य बातों के प्रति उदासीन हो जाओगे।
Word by Word
When the intellect finally breaks free from delusion's grip, a profound indifference arises—not from apathy, but from seeing through the illusion of what needs to be known and what has already been learned. The Vedantic seeker understands that beyond all knowledge accumulated and all knowledge yet to come lies the unchanging Self, untouched by the flux of information and experience.
In our modern obsession with endless learning and perpetual consumption of ideas, this verse calls us to recognize when we have gathered enough and to turn inward toward the silence where true wisdom dwells.
