Chapter 4 · Verse 6
Jnana Yoga
ज्ञानयोग
In plain words
You should feel reassured that the Divine is never bound by material nature, even when appearing in human form. Unlike us, who are bound by karma, the supreme Lord controls maya, the powerful cosmic illusion. God chooses to manifest out of pure free will to guide you back to your true path.
Translation
4.6 Though I am birthless and of immutable nature, though I am the Lord of all beings, yet by employing My own Nature (Prakrti) I am born out of My own free will.
Meaning
Man is bound by Karma. So he takes birth. He is under the clutches of Nature. He,is deluded by the three alities of Nature whereas the Lord has Maya under His perfect control. He rules over Nature and so He is not under the thraldom of the alities o Nature. He appears to be born and embodied through His own Maya or illusory power but is not so in reality. His embodiment is as a matter of fact apparent. It cannot affect in the least His true divine nature. (Cf. IX.8).
Word by word
