Geeta Chapter 10 Stanzas 1 to 29

Krishna said,
" Cognition, wisdom, clarity, forgiveness, truth, restraint, gratification, joy, sorrow, existence, absence, fear, safety, non-violence,equality, contentment, passion, charity, success, failure...these states which you see manifesting in all beings, have their origin in me and they are spread over a wide spectrum of manifestation.

 "Great minds and personalities in the ancient past have been born to this earth because I willed their birth. The first of the human progeny was the seven sages who now appear as a constellation in the sky. Then came the Manu : the four progenitors of mankind for the four aeons.

I exist in all forms. Each vibration and breath is me. Everything in the form and body is me accentuated into being. ( Vibhuti).

I am the First Cause and the wheel is set in motion through my will. Those who go back to the First Cause are humble and they are filled with awe at my sublime form. They remain devoted to me in life and at the end return to me.

Their heart and mind are ever with me; their breath is ever in the presence of me. Their heart speaks to the mind about me. They live forever in joy, oblivious of life and death.

I  vibrate in symphony with their hearts and come down to occupy the interior of their heart as if it is a sacred shrine. There in the quiet niche I burn like a lamp and shine a constant light, fuelled by the awareness of the inner flame of an undying knowledge of the Divine Self.

Arjun says,
You are the Brahma which transcends all; you are the final abode; you are the most sacred of all. You are eternal, divine; you are the primeval God; you are the ageless without birth; you are the one who occupies all.

O lord, my soulmate Krishna, I believe in the truth of what you say. No godly being, no ungodly being is ever capable of realizing what you are in this human form, nor will they ever reach the presence of God who incarnated in you and spoke to me through the channel of your divine existence. O the most sublime Spirit, the Maker of all beings, the Lord of all, the God of all, the ruler of the universe, you alone can demonstrate how Atman is known only by Atman, because who is there to know you complete in every atom and form except you alone?

Your words are nectar to me ; I can never have enough of them. I want you to go on with the endless expanse of your association with every form of life. Speak and I will listen without wearing out.

Krishna said, "There is no end to my manifestations. So I shall tell you about the most prominent of them. Listen.

Among plants I am the Ashvattha. Among sages I am Narada. Among the Gandharvas (Divine musicians) I am Chitraratha. Among Siddhas I am Kapila. Among Horses I am Ucchaishrava. Among elephants I am Airavat. Among men I am the emperor. Among weapons I am the mace. Among cows I am Kamadhenu. Among progenitors I am Kama The lord of fertility, desire for sex). Among cobras I am Ananta. Among marine life I am Varuna. Among ancestors I am Aryama. Among those who rul I am the lord of Death.
