दृष्टदोषेऽपि विषये ममत्वाकृष्टमानसौ । तत्किमेतन्महाभाग यन्मोहो ज्ञानिनोरपि ॥ ४४ ॥
dṛiṣhṭadoṣhe’pi viṣhaye mamatvākṛiṣhṭamānasau tatkimetanmahābhāga yanmoho jñāninorapi
Translation
Our minds are drawn by attachment even to things whose faults we have seen. Why, O noble one, is there such delusion even in people who know?
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
जिन विषयों में हमने प्रत्यक्ष दोष देख लिया है, उनमें भी हमारे मन ममता से खिंचे रहते हैं। हे महाभाग! हम दोनों ज्ञानी हैं, फिर भी हममें यह मोह क्यों है?
Commentary
This is one of the great questions of the spiritual life, put in its sharpest form: why does moha (delusion) overpower even those who understand (jnaninoh api)? Gita Press notes a variant reading, tat kenaitat.
