The Blessed Lord said: [O Arjuna!] Because you were never doubtful of me, I shall declared to you this most secret wisdom, knowing which you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence. This is the regal science(king of all knowledge), a regal mystery, the supreme purifier. It is realised by direct experience. It is in accord with Dharma, it is easy to practice and is abiding

Those [people] who are not receptive to Dharma(the Perennial Principles), O Arjuna, remain in this cycle of birth and death (Samsara), without ever attaining Me.

This entire universe is pervaded by Me, in an unmanifest form. All beings abide in Me, but I do not abide in them.

Nor do beings exist in Me; behold My divine Yogal Supporting (all) beings, but not dwelling in them, is My Self, the cause of all beings.

As the mighty wind moving everywhere, ever remains in space, in the same manner all beings rest in Me.

All beings, O Arjuna, are assimilated into My Nature (Prakrti) at the end of a cycle of time (kalpa). Again I send them forth at the beginning of a new cycle. The whole cosmic order is under Me. By my Will it is manifested again and again and By my will it is annihilated at the end.

In earlier Shlokas Bhagvan Shri Krishna described how whole Universe is created from his own un-manifest potency and all living beings are sustained by his own self.

Under My supervision, material nature( Prakrti) produces all moving and non-moving beings. Indeed,because of this, O Kaunteya, does the world revolve.

Fools disregard Me, when I descend a human form, not knowing My transcendental nature,as the Supreme Lord of all beings. Deluded by futile desires, futile endeavours and futile knowledge and futile understanding these people take shelter in demonic(Rakshas) unenlightened(Asuras) nature.

But the great-souled, O Partha, abiding in My divine nature, knowing this imperishable source of beings propitiate Me with undistracted mind. Ever eulogizing Me, steadfast in their efforts, bowing down to Me in communion, they worship Me, ever disciplined.

With the sacrifice of wisdom others propitiate Me as the Universal form in the unified manner, in distinct manner and in manifold manner as well. --Shri Madhvaharya Alternate translation: ------------------------- Others, too, besides offering the sacrifice of wisdom, worship Me as One, who is characterised by diversity in various ways, and is multiform (in My Cosmic aspect). --Shri Ramanujacharya

I am the ritual I am the sacrifice, I am the oblation. I am the herb. Hymns and I am also the ghee(clarified butter). I am the fire and also the offering (made therein). Father am I of the world, the mother, the supporter, the grandsire, I am the one to be known as the Pure, the AUM and also Rig, Sama, and the Yajus as well.

I am the goal, the upholder, the Lord, the witness, the abode, the refuge I am the origin and the dissolution, the ground and the resting place and the imperishable seed and the friend. I create the heat and shower rains and withdraw them as well. Immortality and the mortality am I, Truth and the un-Truth am I, O Arjuna.

Those who are versed in the three Vedas, being purified from sin by drinking the Soma juice, pray for the way to heaven and worship Me by Yajna. Reaching the holy realm of the King Indra(the king of deties), they enjoy in heaven the celestial pleasures of the devas(deities).

Having enjoyed the vast realm of heaven, they return to the realm of mortals when the fruits of their virtuous act is exhausted. Thus, those taking actions with interested motives[to attain svarga(the heaven)] and seeking enjoyment in accordance to the three Vedas, remain in the repeated cycle of birth and death."

There are those who, not being mindful of anything else, adore Me alone, aspiring after eternal union with Me. I Myself take charge of their prosperity and welfare (YogaKṣema).

Even those who, endowed with faith are devoted to other deities, they worship Me alone, O Kaunteya, in an indirect manner.

. For, I alone am the enjoyer and the only Lord of all sacrifices. Those who do not recognize My true transcendental nature fall down.

They who worship the gods go to the gods and those who worship the ancestors go to the ancestors and those who worship the elemental beings go to the elemental beings, but those who worship Me come to Me alone. --English Translation of Shri Madhavacharya bhashya

Whoever offers to Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or some water, I accept this offering made with devotion by one who is pure of heart.

Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give away, whatever austerity you practice, O Kaunteya, do that as an offering to Me. Thus imbued with a mind steadfast in the Yoga of renunciation, you will free yourself from the bonds of Karma, productive of auspicious as well as inauspicious results — thus liberated, you will come to Me.

I regards all living beings with equality. To me, nobody is hateful or dear, but those who worship Me with devotion abide in Me and I in them.

If one who is given to vile conduct propitiates Me without any distraction then he-should, indeed, be considered noble, he having rightly resolved.

Swiftlydoes he become a man of righteousness and attains eternal peace. O Kaunteya, know for certain that My devotee shall never perish.

O Partha! Even those born of sinful offspring, the women, Vaishya, Sudras taking refuge in me, attain the supreme state(goal).

What then of the pure men of Wisdom and of devoted royal sages having attained this world of impermanent pleasures, propitiate Me. —Shri Madhvacharaya How much more [easily] then the Brahmanas and royal sages who are pure and are devoted to Me! Having come into this transient world of suffering, do you worship Me. —Shri Ramanujacharya How much more then the holy Brāhmanas and devoted Rājarsis! Having reached this transient joyless world, do you worship Me. —Shri Adi Shankaracharya

Focus your mind on Me, be devoted to Me, offer worship to Me, bow down to Me.Engaging your mind in this manner and regarding Me as the supreme goal, you will come to Me.
