All my followers are dear to me . But the enlightened one is dearer to me than any other. He has come to me with an undivided mind and he becomes my very soul. He reaches the highest goal that is me.
After going through many incarnations, at last the enlightened one comes to me. It is rare indeed to come across such as one who realizes my presence in everything. He is indeed a great soul.
Elsewhere the other devotees are driven by selfish desires. Their attachment to the fulfillment of materialistic desires takes them to various other deities who preside over those desires.
They seek different desires in the different deities and I reaffirm their strong attachments to those several deities. Those deities are nothing but me seen in different forms.
These ignorant followers invest their faith in the deities who are embodiment of their desires and ideals. They worship the deities thus created by them. Their faith is strong and the strength of their faith fetches the desired result. I fulfill their desires according to their faith and sincerity.
These are people with a limited knowledge. The fruit of their ignorant devotion and worship is however, ephemeral. They finally reach the Gods of small things. But those who follow me with a knowledge of my true spirit, they come to me.
I am unmanifest, but those with a small intelligence try to limit me to small deities whom they give a recognizably human form.
I am not comprehensible to those whose minds are covered by the veil of Maya. They cannot conceive of my essence. They cannot think of me who was never born and who has no end.
O Arjun, I know all the universes that had existed in the past. I know all those that are in existence now. I know all that are going to come into existence in future, but there was none, there is none, and there will be none among any of those worlds who has knowledge of me.
All living beings are enveloped by the polarities of aversion and affiliation right from their birth. They are born in ignorance and they end in ignorance.
But those auspicious beings who have experienced the end of the cycle of evil karma are finally free of the antithesis of all kinds and their ignorance ends in this life. They become my resolute followers.
Those who take refuge in me to find redemption from the cycle of birth and death, they attain knowledge of Brahma. They gain complete knowledge of spirituality, and obtain the full perspective on Karma.
Those enlightened beings know me as the foundation of all that has been. They know that the divinity dwelling inside them is me. They know that the great sacrifice of their life is me. At the time of the departure also they recognize my presence.
Aum that is the truth of life. With this ends the seventh chapter called Jnyana Vijnyana Yoga in the discipline of Yoga, which is a part of the doctrine of Brahma in the Upanishad called Bhagavad Geeta .
