Chapter 15
पुरुषोत्तमयोग
The Supreme Being's lit AF Yoga
Chapter 15, aka "Purushottama Yoga," is where Krishna drops some major truth bombs. It's all about that transcendental knowledge, which is basically the key to escaping this material world's BS. Krishna's the ultimate OG, the eternal controller and sustainer of everything. If you get this, you'll totally surrender to him and become a devotee. It's that real.
Verse 1
The OG Lord said: Yo, the wise ones are all about this indestructible peepul tree, roots up top, branches down low. The leaves? Those are the verses, the hymns. If you know this tree, you're a total Veda master.
Verse 2
Yo, this tree's branches are, like, everywhere—above and below. It's all fueled by the Gunas. The buds are all the sensory stuff, and the roots? They're down here in the human world, totally hooked into all the actions we're taking.
Verse 3
This tree? No cap, you can't even see its form, start, end, or anything. It's low-key sus. Chop it down with the ultimate weapon: not giving a f***.
Verse 4
So, like, you gotta chase this goal, this place where it's a one-way trip. I'm all in on that Primeval Purusha, the OG source of all this crazy energy.
Verse 5
No cap, these peeps are totally over pride and delusion. They've slayed attachment issues. They're always in touch with their inner selves, and their desires are, like, nonexistent. They're unfazed by good or bad vibes. These undeluded peeps? They're hitting that eternal destination.
Verse 6
It's not like the sun's gonna light that place, or the moon, or even fire. Once you're there, you ain't coming back. That's my ultimate crib.
Verse 7
Yo, this eternal part of the Lord, like, *becomes* a soul in this life, and it's all about grabbing the five senses, with the mind as the sixth, and vibing in nature.
Verse 8
When the Lord, like, gets a body and then ditches it, he takes his stuff with him, no cap. It's like how the wind snatches up the scent of flowers.
Verse 9
It's, like, totally in charge of your ears, eyes, touch, taste, and smell, and your mind, and it's living it up with all the sensory stuff.
Verse 10
The clueless peeps can't see the dude who's, like, vibing everywhere, existing, and living it up. But the peeps with the knowledge-vision? They totally see him.
Verse 11
Yogins striving for perfection? They see the divine chillin' in their own selves. But unrefined and unintelligent peeps? Nah, they don't see it, even if they try hard.
Verse 12
That glow in the sun, illuminating the whole world? The moon's light? Fire's flames? Yeah, that's all straight up from the Supreme Being.
Verse 13
I'm everywhere in the earth, powering everything, no cap. Then I become the moon, all watery and stuff, and I'm all, 'Bet, let me nourish all these plants.'
Verse 14
I'm Vaisvanara, the fire in your gut, and I'm chilling in every living thing. With my prana and apana crew, I'm, like, *totally* digesting all four food groups.
Verse 15
I'm low-key in everyone's head, y'know? I'm the source of all your memories and knowledge, or the total lack thereof. I'm the ultimate MVP of the Vedas, the GOAT of the Vedanta, and the supreme being of all knowledge. Basically, I'm the main character.
Verse 16
Yo, there are two types of peeps in this world: the ones that are, like, totally gonna fade, and the ones that are, like, forever. Everyone's gonna fade eventually, except for the Kutastha—that's the unchanging one.
Verse 17
But, like, the Supreme Purusha, the highest Self, is totally indestructible and the ultimate Lord. He's, like, *everywhere* in the three worlds, keeping it all together.
Verse 18
I'm way beyond the stuff that dies, even more than the stuff that doesn't. I'm the ultimate Purusha, the GOAT, in the world and the Vedas, no doubt.
Verse 19
Yo, the person who's, like, totally not confused and knows Krishna is the ultimate Supreme Being? That person, who's, like, all-knowing, worships Krishna with their whole heart, Arjuna.
Verse 20
Yo, Arjuna, I just dropped some major truth bombs on you. This is the ultimate secret knowledge. Knowing this makes you a total guru, and you're good to go on all your responsibilities. No cap.
