Now hear, O son of Prtha, how by practicing
yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free
from doubt.
2
I shall now declare unto you in full this knowledge, both phenomenal and numinous. This
being known, nothing further shall remain for you to know.
3
Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of those who
have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me in truth.

4
Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego −− all together these eight
constitute My separated material energies.
5
Besides these, O mighty−armed Arjuna, there is another, superior energy of Mine, which
comprises the living entities who are exploiting the resources of this material, inferior
nature.
6
All created beings have their source in these two natures. Of all that is material and all that
is spiritual in this world, know for certain that I am both the origin and the dissolution.
7
O conqueror of wealth, there is no truth superior to Me. Everything rests upon Me, as pearls
are strung on a thread.

Chapter 7 : Gyan−Vigyan Yog
O son of Kunti, I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable om in
the Vedic mantras; I am the sound in ether and ability in man.
9
I am the original fragrance of the earth, and I am the heat in fire. I am the life of all that
lives, and I am the penances of all ascetics.
10
O son of Prtha, know that I am the original seed of all existences, the intelligence of the
intelligent, and the prowess of all powerful men.
11
I am the strength of the strong, devoid of passion and desire. I am sex life which is not
contrary to religious principles, O lord of the Bharatas [Arjuna].
12
Know that all states of being −− be they of goodness, passion or ignorance [ = kolme guNaa: sattva, rajas ja tamas -- sidis] −− are
manifested by My energy. I am, in one sense, everything, but I am independent. I am not
under the modes of material nature, for they, on the contrary, are within Me.
13
Deluded by the three modes [goodness, passion and ignorance], the whole world does not
know Me, who am above the modes and inexhaustible.
14
This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to
overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it.
15
Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, who are lowest among mankind, whose
knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic nature of demons do not
surrender unto Me.
16
Chapter 7 : Gyan−Vigyan Yog
O best among the Bharatas, four kinds of pious men begin to render devotional service
unto Me −− the distressed, the desirer of wealth, the inquisitive, and he who is searching for
knowledge of the Absolute.
17
Of these, the one who is in full knowledge and who is always engaged in pure devotional
service is the best. For I am very dear to him, and he is dear to Me.
18
All these devotees are undoubtedly magnanimous souls, but he who is situated in
knowledge of Me I consider to be just like My own self. Being engaged in My
transcendental service, he is sure to attain Me, the highest and most perfect goal.
19
After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me, knowing
Me to be the cause of all causes and all that is. Such a great soul is very rare.
20
Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and
follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures.
21
I am in everyone's heart as the Supersoul. As soon as one desires to worship some
demigod, I make his faith steady so that he can devote himself to that particular deity.
22
Endowed with such a faith, he endeavors to worship a particular demigod and obtains his
desires. But in actuality these benefits are bestowed by Me alone.
23
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.
Chapter 7 : Gyan−Vigyan Yog
24
Unintelligent men, who do not know Me perfectly, think that I, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, Krishna, was impersonal before and have now assumed this personality. Due to
their small knowledge, they do not know My higher nature, which is imperishable and
supreme.
25
I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My internal
potency, and therefore they do not know that I am unborn and infallible.
26
O Arjuna, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, 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.
27
O scion of Bharata, O conqueror of the foe, all living entities are born into delusion,
bewildered by dualities arisen from desire and hate.
28
Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life and whose sinful actions
are completely eradicated are freed from the dualities of delusion, and they engage
themselves in My service with determination.
29
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 activities.
30
Those in full consciousness of Me, who know Me, the Supreme Lord, to be the governing
principle of the material manifestation, of the demigods, and of all methods of sacrifice, can
understand and know Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, even at the time of death.
