आज का श्लोक,
’विपरीतान्’ / ’viparītān’ 
____________________

’विपरीतान्’ / ’viparītān’ - विपरीतों को, विपरीत (अर्थों) में,

अध्याय 18, श्लोक 32,

अधर्मं धर्ममिति या मन्यते तमसावृता ।

सर्वार्थान्विपरीतांश्च बुद्धिः सा पार्थ तामसी ॥

--

(अधर्मम् धर्मम् इति या मन्यते तमसा आवृता ।

सर्वार्थान् विपरीतान् च बुद्धिः सा पार्थ तामसी ॥)

--

भावार्थ :

जो बुद्धि अधर्म को ’यह धर्म है’, मोहवश इस मान्यता से ग्रस्त रहती है, जो सभी तात्पर्यों (और यथार्थ) को उनकी वास्तविकता के विपरीत सत्य की भाँति स्वीकार करती है, हे पार्थ वह बुद्धि तामसी है । 

--

’विपरीतान्’ / ’viparītān’ - the opposite, contrary to what they stand for in reality. 

Chapter 18, śloka 32,

adharmaṃ dharmamiti 

yā manyate tamasāvṛtā |

sarvārthānviparītāṃśca 

buddhiḥ sā pārtha tāmasī ||

--

(adharmam dharmam iti 

yā manyate tamasā āvṛtā |

sarvārthān viparītān ca 

buddhiḥ sā pārtha tāmasī ||)

--

Meaning : 

O pārtha, (O arjuna!), blinded by delusion, the intellect that accepts what is truly adharma, as dharma, and like-wise all the true meanings in a distorted and opposite way, is of the tāmasī kind.

--

Note :

Though elsewhere I have tried to deal with what is 'adharma', and what is 'dharma',  let us see again that 'adharma' is, what is against the natural law of justice, and dharma, -what seeks and follows the natural law of justice, with our best possible (based upon and supported by) reasoning and the understanding that follows there-upon.)
