Summary Translation:
Intelligence, knowledge, freedom from doubt and delusion, forgiveness, truthfulness, self-control and calmness, pleasure and pain, birth, death, fear, fearlessness, nonviolence, equanimity, satisfaction, austerity, charity, fame and infamy are created by Me alone.
Krishna identifies the 'Theoretic Spectrum of Mental and Moral States.' He lists twenty qualities: 'buddhir jñānam asammohaḥ'—intelligence, knowledge, and freedom from delusion; 'kṣhamā satyaṁ damaḥ śhamaḥ'—forgiveness, truthfulness, control of senses, and control of mind; 'sukhaṁ duḥkhaṁ bhavo ’bhāvo'—pleasure, pain, birth, and death; 'bhayaṁ chābhayam eva cha'—fear and fearlessness; 'ahinsā samatā tuṣhṭis'—nonviolence, equanimity, and contentment; 'tapo dānaṁ yaśho ’yaśhaḥ'—austerity, charity, fame, and infamy. 'bhavanti bhāvā bhūtānāṁ matta eva pṛithag-vidhāḥ'—all these diverse (pṛithag-vidhāḥ) states (bhāvāḥ) of living beings (bhūtānām) arise from Me alone (mattaḥ eva). This analysis focuses on the 'Theoretic Origin of Subjective Experience.' Krishna explains that both 'Positive' and 'Negative' dualities, as well as 'Intellectual' and 'Emotional' capacities, are ultimately 'Vibhutis' (Opulences) or 'Derivations' of the Supreme Energy. In the 'Theoretic Framework of Psychological Causality,' the Divine is the 'Primary Substance' out of which all human traits are carved. This detailed analysis reveals that Krishna defines 'Mattaḥ eva' (From Me alone) as the absolute claim of authorship over the internal world. This shloka provides a ' Framework for the Sanctification of Experience.' It teaches that even 'Pain' (Duḥkham) or 'Infamy' (Ayaśhaḥ) have their source in the Divine system. Krishna is telling Arjuna that 'Everything you feel, everything you are capable of thinking, and every situation you find yourself in is a specific modulation of My power.' This is the ' Goal of the Integrative Seeker,' where 'The Diversity' is 'Unified'.
The detailed analysis of 'Pṛithag-vidhāḥ' (Diverse kinds) is the 'Theoretic Description of the Complexity of Consciousness.' In our practical lives, we credit ourselves for our 'Good' qualities and blame fate for the 'Bad.' Krishna is stating that both are 'Bhāvāḥ' (States) generated from His reservoir. Krishna is defining 'The Self' as the 'Originator of all psychological phenomena.' This shloka provides a 'Framework for the Ultimate Determinism of Quality.' It teaches that 'Buddhi' (Intelligence) is not a personal possession but a Divine loan. Krishna is defining 'Asammohaḥ' (Freedom from doubt) as a specific 'Bhāva' that He grants to the seeker. This verse is the ' Proof that the mind is a reflection of the Divine mind.' By using the phrase 'Mattaḥ eva,' He leaves no room for a second cause. This shloka is the 'Universal Manual for the Observer of the Mind,' forcing us to realize that 'We are not the authors of our virtues or our vices; we are the stages upon which His energies play'. This is the ' Goal of the Detached Seeker,' where 'The State' is 'Observed'.
