B.G 2.45
त्रैगुण्यविषया वेदा निस्त्रैगुण्यो भवार्जुन। निर्द्वन्द्वो नित्यसत्त्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान् ॥२-४५॥
The Vēdas dwell on topics relating to the three qualities, O Arjuna, but rise above them. Having no dilemma, become stationed in 'nitya-satwa' i.e. stay in constant remembrance of the supreme lord. Having no desire for safety become 'ātmavān', i.e., considering the supreme lord as master, relinquish all selfish-concerns.
Gīta Bhāshya 2.45
Starting from the verse 'traiguṇya-viṣayā', the mindset required for Yōga is explained. Though superficially Vēdas appear to dwell on topics related to three qualities, in essence they convey lord Vishnu only.
तां योगबुदि्धमाह- त्रैगुण्यविषया इत्यादिना इतरदपोद्य। वेदानां परोक्षार्थत्वात् त्रिगुणसम्बन्धि स्वर्गादि प्रतीतितोर्थ इव भाति।
Starting from 'traiguṇya viṣayā' verse the mindset required for Yōga is explained. Other opposing views are rejected. As Vēdas have indirect and hidden meaning, they superficially appear to speak of matter related to three qualities, such as heaven and others.
"परोक्षवादी वेदोयम्" इति ह्युक्तम्।
"Vēdas speak indirectly and advocate transcendental topics." - is the well-known proverb
अतः प्रातीतिकेर्थे भ्रान्तिं मा कुर्वित्यर्थः।
"Therefore, don't get disillusioned by its literal opinion" - is the meaning conveyed.
"वादो विषयकत्वं च मुखतो वचनं स्मृतं।" इत्यभिधानम्।
"The word 'argument' is used when the topics conveyed are contrary to reality." - is the well-known proverb.
न तु वेदपक्षो निषिध्यते।
It does not mean the advocacy of Vedas is to be forbidden.
"वेदे रामायणे चैव पुराणे भारते तथा। आदावन्ते च मध्ये च विष्णुः सर्वत्र गीयते॥"
"Vēdas, Rāmāyana, Purānas, and also Mahābhārata glorify lord Vishnu only in the beginning, middle, and the end, in fact everywhere."
"सर्वे वेदा यत्पदमामनन्ति।"
"All the Vēdas convey His glories only."
"वेदोखिलो धर्ममूलं स्मृऽतिशीले च तद्विदाम्। आचारश्चैव साधूनाम् आत्मनो तुष्टिरेव च॥"
"The essence of Vēdas is the root of dharma and written texts are the basis for practice - thus the knowledgeable proclaim. The conduct of saints and monks must, well, bring satisfaction to 'ātman'."
"वेदप्रणिहितो धर्मः ह्यधर्मस्तद्विपर्ययः॥"
"That which is in accordance with Vēdas is dharma and those which are divergent to it are adharma, i.e. evil."
[-states various ancient proverbs.]
इति वेदानां सर्वात्मना विष्णुपरत्वोक्तेः। तद्विहितस्य तद्विरुद्धस्य च धर्माधर्मत्वोक्तेश्च ॥ ४५ ॥
Thus, Vēdas advocate lord Vishnu everywhere. That which is in accordance with Vēdas is dharma and that which is opposed is adharma .
