Thought

I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all.

I am the only enjoyer and master of all sacrifices. Therefore, those who do not recognize My true transcendental nature fall down.

I give heat & I withhold & send the rain. I'm immortality & I'm also death personified. Both spirit and matter are in Me(Lord Krishna).

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

I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable om. I am also the Rig, the Sama and the Yajur Vedas.

I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire.

I am the butter and the fire and the offering.

I am the ritual, I the sacrifice, the offering to the ancestors, the healing herb, the transcendental chant.

Thought

Great souls engage in sacrifice by seeking knowledge, worship the Supreme Lord as the one, as diverse in many & in the universal form.

Chanting My glories, endeavoring with determination, bowing down before Me(Lord Krishna), the great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion.

Those who are not deluded, the great souls, are under the protection of the divine nature.

Those who are thus bewildered are attracted by demonic and atheistic views.

Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They don't knew My transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord of all that be.

Material nature,which is one of My energies, is working under My direction, producing all moving & non-moving beings.

All this work cannot bind Me. I am ever detached from all these material activities, seated as though neutral.

The whole cosmic order is under Me. Under My will it is manifested, and under My will it is annihilated.

Thought

At the end, all material manifestations enter into My(Lord Krishna) nature & at the beginning, by My potency, I create them again.

Understand that as the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, rests always in the sky, all created beings rest in Me(Lord Krishna).

Although I'm the maintainer of all living entities & although I'm everywhere, I'm not a part of this cosmic manifestation, for My Self is the very source of creation.

And yet everything that is created does not rest in Me.

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

Those who aren't faithful in this devotional service can't attain Me, therefore they return to the path of birth & death in this material world.

When one passes in light, he does not come back; but when one passes in darkness, he returns.

According to Vedic opinion, there are two ways of passing from this world - one in light and one in darkness.

God, who is greater than all, is attainable by unalloyed devotion. He is all-pervading & everything is situated within Him.

Yet there is another unmanifest nature, it is supreme and is never annihilated.

.

Thought

At the beginning of Brahma's day, all living entities manifest and when the night falls they unmanifest again.

A thousand ages taken together form the duration of Brahma's one day. And such also is the duration of his night.

From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery where in repeated birth and death take place. But one who attains to My abode, never takes birth again.

After attaining Me (Lord Krishna), the great souls (Yogis), never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, they have attained the highest perfection.

One who always remembers Me(Lord Krishna) without deviation, I am easy to obtain.

Practicing yoga & reciting the sacred syllable OM, if one thinks of Me(Lord Krishna), he will certainly reach the spiritual planets.

Closing all the doors of the senses & fixing the mind on the heart & the life air at the top of the head, one establishes himself in yoga.

The yogic situation is that of detachment from all sensual engagements.

One who at the time of death, fixes his life air between the eyebrows & engages himself in remembering Me(Lord Krishna) ,will certainly attain Me.

One should meditate upon the Supreme Person as the one who knows everything. He is transcendental, beyond this material nature.

.

Thought

He who meditates on Me (Lord Krishna), his mind constantly engaged in remembering Me(Lord Krishna),undeviating from the path, he is sure to reach Me(Lord Krishna).

With your activities dedicated to Me and your mind and intelligence fixed on Me(Lord Krishna), you will attain Me(Lord Krishna) without doubt.

Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail.

And whoever, at the end of his life, quits his body, remembering Me(Lord Krishna) alone, at once attains My nature.

I, the Supreme Lord, represented as the Super soul in the heart of every embodied being, am called adhiyajna [the Lord of sacrifice].


.

Thought

The universal form of the Lord, which includes all the demigods, like those of the sun and moon, is called adhidaiva.


The physical nature, which is constantly changing, is called adhibhuta [the material manifestation].


Action pertaining too the development of the material bodies of the living entities is called karma or fruitive activities.


The indestructible, transcendental living entity is called Brahman & his eternal nature is called adhyatma, the self.


Those who know Me to be the governing principle of the material manifestation, of the demigods & of all methods of sacrifice, can understand Me even at the time of death.

.

Thought

Intelligent people who seek liberate from old age & take refuge in Me through devotional service are Brahman,as they know everything about transcendental activities.


People who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life and free of sin are free from delusion.


All living entities are born into delusion, bewildered by dualities arisen from desire and hate.


O Arjuna,I knew everything that has happened, all that is happening & all things that will. I also know all living entities; but no one knows Me.


I never manifest to the unintelligent. For them I am covered by My internal potency & they do not know that I am unborn & infallible.


.

Thought

Unintelligent men, due to their small knowledge, they do not know My higher nature, which is imperishable and supreme.


Those who worship demigods go to their planets, but My devotees ultimately reach My supreme planet.


Men of small intelligence worship the demigods, and their fruits are limited and temporary.


Endowed with faith, he worships a demigod & obtains his desires. In actuality these benefits are bestowed by Me alone.


I am in everyone's heart as the Super-soul. As soon as one desires to worship some demigod, I make his faith steady so that he can devote himself to that particular deity.


.

Thought

Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods.


After many births and deaths, he who is actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me. Such a great soul is very rare.


He who is situated in knowledge of Me I consider to be just like My own self. He is sure to attain Me, the highest and most perfect goal.


The knowledgeable one who engages in pure devotional service is the best. I am dear to him, and he is dear to Me.


Those miscreants whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic nature of demons do not surrender unto Me.


.

Thought

The divine energy of Mine is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily go beyond.


Deluded by the 3 modes - goodness, passion and ignorance, the world does not know Me, I'm above the modes and inexhaustible.


I am everything, but I am independent. I am not under the modes of material nature, on the contrary they are within Me.


Know that all states of being - be they of goodness, passion or ignorance - are manifested by My energy.


I am the strength of the strong, devoid of passion and desire. I'm sex life which is not contrary to religious principles.
