Lord Krishna said,
" Now I shall proceed to give you the most secret of all doctrines.
I am that which causes the rising of these multifarious universes and I am the will behind their dissolution.
All the elements are under control of Nature (Prakruti) and nature is under my control. Nature is given a Law. and Nature has freedom to run itself according to Law. But I am over and above Nature and it is in my control to create and dissolve the worlds.
These worlds are by law ephemeral and perishable. It has been going through the three stages of creation, existence and dissolution perpetually and this eternal cycle is the primordial Karma. Though I am the cause, I am indifferent to this cycle. I have no involvement in it. I am an indifferent spectator.
I am the presiding power over the entire phenomena of Nature and because of me the worlds continue to exist. and dissolve.
Even when I come to this world in a human form, the mortal humans do not know me . The trinity of Brahma Vishnu and Mahesh are the manifestions of my threefold significance. All my divine manifestations are governed by the divine principle. They do not come under the law of mortality.
Those who do not recognize me when I live among the mortals in the human form, resort to cruel ways. Their aspirations are futile. Their Karma leads to no purpose. and what they believe to be knowledge is an illusion.
but those who recognize my divine essence are not be deluded by appearances. They follow me and remain devoted to me.
Those who have faith in me stay connected to me day and night.
Others who know me by knowledge and intellect follow me by making their entire life a sacrifice offered unto me.
I become the sun and create heat. With this heat I absorb the element of water and give it back in the form of rain.
I am the elixir, the nectar of life and I come to the world of the mortals as death.
Those who understand my essence and have faith in me are protected in life. I bear the responsibility for their welfare.
In this cosmic form I receive the fire of the sacrifice of life. I preside over the cosmos. Those who do not know me in the essence are not able to reach me.
At a level lower than me are the divine beings (Devas). Below them are the ancestral deities of the human race. (Pitris) The devotees of Devas reach the realm of the Devas, Those of Pitris reach the realm of Pitris. The devotees of gods in human forms reach the realm of human gods. But those who know me and follow me reach the highest abode.
Whatever is offered to me with devotion and love, be it a leaf, a flower a fruit or just water, I receive it with love because it comes sanctified by love and humility.
O Arjun, whatever you do, whatever relish, whatever you will offer to the fire divine, whatever you will part with for the benefit of others,whatever you will pursue with austere discipline, you should finally offer them to me.
The fruits of our karma, whether good or bad, are in the true sense the bindings of karma. You will be set free of that binding of Karma. Supremely free, you will come to me.
To me, all the living beings are equal. None is dearer to me than any other and none is despised. But I am particularly attracted to those who follow me with love, I am in them and they are in me.
Those who follow me with dedication and love will finally find me.
