नाहं वेदैर्न तपसा न दानेन न चेज्यया । शक्य एवंविधो द्रष्टुं दृष्टवानसि मां यथा ॥ ५३ ॥
nāhaṁ vedair na tapasā na dānena na chejyayā śhakya evaṁ-vidho draṣhṭuṁ dṛiṣhṭavān asi māṁ yathā
Translation
Not by the Vedas, not by austerity, not by charity nor by sacrifice can I be seen as you have seen Me.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
जिस प्रकार तुमने मुझे देखा है, उस प्रकार मैं न वेदों से, न तप से, न दान से और न यज्ञ से देखा जा सकता हूँ।
Commentary
This verse repeats the idea of verse 48 almost word for word, and the repetition is for emphasis. Each of these practices has value, and the Gita praises them elsewhere, but none of them on its own can make God visible.
