श्रीभगवान उवाच इदं तु ते गुह्यतमं प्रवक्ष्याम्य अनसूयवे ज्ञानं विज्ञानसहितं यज ज्ञात्वा मोक्ष्यसेऽशुभात

The Supreme Lord said: My dear Arjuna, because you are never envious of Me, I shall impart to you this most secret wisdom, knowing which you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence.

rāja-vidyā rāja-guhyaṁ pavitram idam uttamam pratyakṣāvagamaṁ dharmyaṁ susukhaṁ kartum avyayam

राजविद्या राजगुह्यं पवित्रम इदम उत्तमम प्रत्यक्षावगमं धर्म्यं सुसुखं कर्तुम अव्ययम

This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct perception of the self by realization, it is the perfection of religion. It is everlasting, and it is joyfully performed.

aśraddadhānāḥ puruṣā dharmasyāsya parantapa aprāpya māṁ nivartante mṛtyu-saṁsāra-vartmani

asraddadhanah purusa dharmasyasya parantapa aprapya mam nivartante mrtyu-samsara-vartmani

अश्रद्दधानाः पुरुषा धर्मस्यास्य परन्तप अप्राप्य मां निवर्तन्ते मृत्युसंसारवर्त्मनि

Those who are not faithful on the path of devotional service cannot attain Me, O conqueror of foes, but return to birth and death in this material world.

maya tatam idam sarvam jagad avyakta-murtina matsthani sarva-bhutani na caham tesv avasthitah

मया ततम इदं सर्वं जगद अव्यक्तमूर्तिना मत्स्थानि सर्वभूतानि न चाहं तेष्व अवस्थितः

By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them.

na ca mat-sthāni bhūtāni paśya me yogam aiśvaram bhūta-bhṛn na ca bhūta-stho mamātmā bhūta-bhāvanaḥ

न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगम ऐश्वरम भूतभृन न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः

And yet everything that is created does not rest in Me. Behold My mystic opulence! Although I am the maintainer of all living entities, and although I am everywhere, still My Self is the very source of creation.

yathākāśa-sthito nityaṁ vāyuḥ sarvatra-go mahān tathā sarvāṇi bhūtāni mat-sthānīty upadhāraya

यथाकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्य उपधारय

As the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, always rests in ethereal space, know that in the same manner all beings rest in Me.

सर्वभूतानि कौन्तेय प्रकृतिं यान्ति मामिकाम कल्पक्षये पुनस तानि कल्पादौ विसृजाम्य अहम

O son of Kunti, at the end of the millennium every material manifestation enters into My nature, and at the beginning of another millennium, by My potency I again create.

प्रकृतिं स्वाम अवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः भूतग्रामम इमं कृत्स्नम अवशं प्रकृतेर वशात

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.

न च मां तानि कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनंजय उदासीनवद आसीनम असक्तं तेषु कर्मसु

O Dhananjaya, all this work cannot bind Me. I am ever detached, seated as though neutral.

mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram hetunānena kaunteya jagad viparivartate

मयाध्यक्षेण प्रकृतिः सूयते सचराचरम हेतुनानेन कौन्तेय जगद विपरिवर्तते

This material nature is working under My direction, O son of Kunti, and it is producing all moving and unmoving beings. By its rule this manifestation is created and annihilated again and again.

अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुम आश्रितम परं भावम अजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम

Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that be.

मोघाशा मोघकर्माणो मोघज्ञाना विचेतसः राक्षसीम आसुरीं चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिताः

Those who are thus bewildered are attracted by demonic and atheistic views. In that deluded condition, their hopes for liberation, their fruitive activities, and their culture of knowledge are all defeated.

O son of Prtha, those who are not deluded, the great souls, are under the protection of the divine nature. They are fully engaged in devotional service because they know Me as the Supreme Lord, original and inexhaustible.

सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश च दृढव्रताः नमस्यन्तश च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते

Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination, bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion.

ज्ञानयज्ञेन चाप्य अन्ये यजन्तो माम उपासते एकत्वेन पृथक्त्वेन बहुधा विश्वतोमुखम

Others, who are engaged in the cultivation of knowledge, worship the Supreme Lord as the one without a second, diverse in many, and in the universal form.

अहं क्रतुर अहं यज्ञः स्वधाहम अहम औषधम मन्त्रोऽहम अहम एवाज्यम अहम अग्निर अहं हुतम

But it is I who am the ritual, I the sacrifice, the offering to the ancestors, the healing herb, the transcendental chant. I am the butter and the fire and the offering.

पिताहम अस्य जगतो माता धाता पितामहः वेद्यं पवित्रम ओंकार ऋक साम यजुर एव च

I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support, and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable om. I am also the Rg, the Sama, and the Yajur [Vedas].

गतिर भर्ता प्रभुः साक्षी निवासः शरणं सुहृत प्रभवः प्रलयः स्थानं निधानं बीजम अव्ययम

I am the goal, the sustainer, the master, the witness, the abode, the refuge and the most dear friend. I am the creation and the annihilation, the basis of everything, the resting place and the eternal seed.

त्रैविद्या मां सोमपाः पूतपापा यज्ञैर इष्ट्वा स्वर्गतिं प्रार्थयन्ते ते पुण्यम आसाद्य सुरेन्द्रलोकम अश्नन्ति दिव्यान दिवि देवभोगान

Those who study the Vedas and drink the soma juice, seeking the heavenly planets, worship Me indirectly. They take birth on the planet of Indra, where they enjoy godly delights.

ते तं भुक्त्वा स्वर्गलोकं विशालं क्षीणे पुण्ये मर्त्यलोकं विशन्ति एवं त्रयीधर्मम अनुप्रपन्ना गतागतं कामकामा लभन्ते

When they have thus enjoyed heavenly sense pleasure, they return to this mortal planet again. Thus, through the Vedic principles, they achieve only flickering happiness.

येऽप्य अन्यदेवताभक्ता यजन्ते श्रद्धयान्विताः तेऽपि माम एव कौन्तेय यजन्त्य अविधिपूर्वकम

Whatever a man may sacrifice to other gods, O son of Kunti, is really meant for Me alone, but it is offered without true understanding.

ahaṁ hi sarva-yajñānāṁ bhoktā ca prabhur eva ca na tu mām abhijānanti tattvenātaś cyavanti te

aham hi sarva-yajnanam bhokta ca prabhur eva ca na tu mam abhijananti tattvenatas cyavanti te

अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता च प्रभुर एव च न तु माम अभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश च्यवन्ति ते

I am the only enjoyer and the only object of sacrifice. Those who do not recognize My true transcendental nature fall down.

If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it.

In this way you will be freed from all reactions to good and evil deeds, and by this principle of renunciation you will be liberated and come to Me.

समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः ये भजन्ति तु मां भक्त्या मयि ते तेषु चाप्य अहम

I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all. But whoever renders service unto Me in devotion is a friend, is in Me, and I am also a friend to him.

अपि चेत सुदुराचारो भजते माम अनन्यभाक साधुर एव स मन्तव्यः सम्यग व्यवसितो हि सः

Even if one commits the most abominable actions, if he is engaged in devotional service, he is to be considered saintly because he is properly situated.

मां हि पार्थ व्यपाश्रित्य येऽपि स्युः पापयोनयः स्त्रियो वैश्यास तथा शूद्रास तेऽपि यान्ति परां गतिम

O son of Prtha, those who take shelter in Me, though they be of lower birth--women, vaisyas [merchants], as well as sudras [workers]--can approach the supreme destination.
