ये चैव सात्त्विका भावा राजसास तामसाश च ये मत्त एवेति तान विद्धि न त्व अहं तेषु ते मयि
All states of being--be they of goodness, passion or ignorance--are manifested by My energy. I am, in one sense, everything--but I am independent. I am not under the modes of this material nature.

चतुर्विधा भजन्ते मां जनाः सुकृतिनोऽर्जुन आर्तो जिज्ञासुर अर्थार्थी ज्ञानी च भरतर्षभ
O best among the Bharatas [Arjuna], four kinds of pious men render devotional service unto Me--the distressed, the desirer of wealth, the inquisitive, and he who is searching for knowledge of the Absolute.
- Verse 17
teṣāṁ jñānī nitya-yukta eka-bhaktir viśiṣyate priyo hi jñānino’tyartham ahaṁ sa ca mama priyaḥ

उदाराः सर्व एवैते ज्ञानी त्व आत्मैव मे मतम आस्थितः स हि युक्तात्मा माम एवानुत्तमां गतिम
All these devotees are undoubtedly magnanimous souls, but he who is situated in knowledge of Me I consider verily to dwell in Me. Being engaged in My transcendental service, he attains Me.

yo yo yāṁ yāṁ tanuṁ bhaktaḥ śraddhayārcitum icchati tasya tasyācalāṁ śraddhāṁ tām eva vidadhāmy aham

यो यो यां यां तनुं भक्तः श्रद्धयार्चितुम इच्छति तस्य तस्याचलां श्रद्धां ताम एव विदधाम्य अहम
I am in everyone's heart as the Supersoul. As soon as one desires to worship the demigods, I make his faith steady so that he can devote himself to some particular deity.
- Verse 22
sa tayā śraddhayā yuktas tasyā rādhanam īhate labhate ca tataḥ kāmān mayaiva vihitān hi tān
sa taya sraddhaya yuktas tasya radhanam ihate labhate ca tatah kaman mayaiva vihitan hi tan
स तया श्रद्धया युक्तस तस्या राधनम ईहते लभते च ततः कामान मयैव विहितान हि तान
Endowed with such a faith, he seeks favors of a particular demigod and obtains his desires. But in actuality these benefits are bestowed by Me alone.

अन्तवत तु फलं तेषां तद भवत्य अल्पमेधसाम देवान देवयजो यान्ति मद्भक्ता यान्ति माम अपि
Men of small intelligence worship the demigods, and their fruits are limited and temporary. Those who worship the demigods go to the planets of the demigods, but My devotees ultimately reach My supreme planet.
- Verse 24
avyaktaṁ vyaktim āpannaṁ manyante mām abuddhayaḥ paraṁ bhāvam ajānanto mamāvyayam anuttamam
avyaktam vyaktim apannam manyante mam abuddhayah param bhavam ajananto mamavyayam anuttamam
अव्यक्तं व्यक्तिम आपन्नं मन्यन्ते माम अबुद्धयः परं भावम अजानन्तो ममाव्ययम अनुत्तमम
Unintelligent men, who know Me not, think that I have assumed this form and personality. Due to their small knowledge, they do not know My higher nature, which is changeless and supreme.
- Verse 25
nāhaṁ prakāśaḥ sarvasya yoga-māyā-samāvṛtaḥ mūḍho’yaṁ nābhijānāti loko mām ajam avyayam

नाहं प्रकाशः सर्वस्य योगमायासमावृतः मूढोऽयं नाभिजानाति लोको माम अजम अव्ययम
I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My eternal creative potency [yoga-maya]; and so the deluded world knows Me not, who am unborn and infallible.
- Verse 26
vedāhaṁ samatītāni vartamānāni cārjuna bhaviṣyāṇi ca bhūtāni māṁ tu veda na kaścana
vedaham samatitani vartamanani carjuna bhavisyani ca bhutani mam tu veda na kascana
वेदाहं समतीतानि वर्तमानानि चार्जुन भविष्याणि च भूतानि मां तु वेद न कश्चन
O Arjuna, as the Supreme Lord, I know everything that has happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are yet to come. I also know all living entities; but Me no one knows.

icchā-dveṣa-samutthena dvandva-mohena bhārata sarva-bhūtāni saṁmohaṁ sarge yānti parantapa
iccha-dvesa-samutthena dvandva-mohena bharata sarva-bhutani sammoham sarge yanti parantapa
इच्छाद्वेषसमुत्थेन द्वन्द्वमोहेन भारत सर्वभूतानि संमोहं सर्गे यान्ति परन्तप
O scion of Bharata [Arjuna], O conqueror of the foe, all living entities are born into delusion, overcome by the dualities of desire and hate.

jara-marana-moksaya mam asritya yatanti ye te brahma tad viduh krtsnam adhyatmam karma cakhilam
जरामरणमोक्षाय माम आश्रित्य यतन्ति ये ते ब्रह्म तद विदुः कृत्स्नम अध्यात्मं कर्म चाखिलम
Intelligent persons who are endeavoring for liberation from old age and death take refuge in Me in devotional service. They are actually Brahman because they entirely know everything about transcendental and fruitive activities.
- Verse 30
sādhibhūtādhidaivaṁ māṁ sādhiyajñaṁ ca ye viduḥ prayāṇa-kāle’pi ca māṁ te vidur yukta-cetasaḥ
sadhibhutadhidaivam mam sadhiyajnam ca ye viduh prayana-kale’pi ca mam te vidur yukta-cetasah
साधिभूताधिदैवं मां साधियज्ञं च ये विदुः प्रयाणकालेऽपि च मां ते विदुर युक्तचेतसः
Those who know Me as the Supreme Lord, as the governing principle of the material manifestation, who know Me as the one underlying all the demigods and as the one sustaining all sacrifices, can, with steadfast mind, understand and know Me even at the time of death.
