SRIMODBHAGAVAD GITA
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
Om Sri Paramatman Namah
YOGA OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING (VII)
Summary of the Seventh Speech:
Sri Krishna tells Arjuna that the supreme deity must achieve both its supernatural and supernatural aspects. The Yogi who reached this conference knows nothing more.
This perfect union with the Lord is hard to find. Among the many thousands of people, very few aspire to this union, and even among those who do, few have ever reached the pinnacle of spiritual prosperity.
The Lord has already provided a clear description of His perfect and eternal nature. He now goes on to describe His manifestation as the atmosphere and power there. He speaks of these symptoms as His lower and upper Prakritis. The Printer below is made up of five elements, intelligence, self-awareness and ingenuity. High Prakrit is a living thing that elevates the universe, makes it work and causes its appearance and ultimate disintegration.
Krishna says that whatever is there is nothing but Him. He is the cause of the universe and everything in it. It's all tied to Him like a bunch of jewels on a string. He is the essence, the substance and the basis of everything, whether visible or invisible. Though everything is in him, yet he surpasses all things as an Inhuman Man. Prakrit or Nature is made up of three Gunas or attributes - Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas. These three traits deceive the soul and cause it to forget its true nature, which is in harmony with God. This error, called the Maya, can only be removed by the Grace of the Lord Himself.
So far Arjuna has been taught the highest form of devotion, which leads to unity with God in His stature as well as His mighty Prostitute. Krishna tells him that there are other types of devotion that are inferior to others. The depressed, who seeks the wisdom of God, and who desires riches, Serve Him, as wise also. To these the Lord sees the wise as beloved in Him. Such a devoted person loves the Lord only because of pure love. Whichever way one worships oneself, the main purpose is the Lord Himself. The Lord accepts such worship, knowing that it refers only to Him.

Sri Bhagavaan Uvaacha:
Mayyaasaktamanaah paartha yogam yunjanmadaashrayah;
Asamshayam samagram maam yathaa jnaasyasi tacchrinu.
The Blessed Lord said:
1. O Arjuna, hear how you will undoubtedly know me fully, purposefully aimed at Me, practicing Yoga and taking refuge in Me!
ANSWER: As you sing the glory and attributes of the Lord, you will grow in love for Him and keep your mind focused on Him. Great love for the Lord is true devotion. For this you should get the full Self knowledge.
*** SRIMODBHAGAVAD GITA
Jnaanam te'ham savijnaanam idam vakshyaamyasheshatah;
Yajjnaatwaa neha bhooyo'nyaj jnaatavyamavashishyate.
2. I will announce to you in full this information combined with direct understanding, after knowing that nothing else will be known here.
***
Manushyaanaam sahasreshu kashchidyatati siddhaye;
Yatataamapi siddhaanaam kashchinmaam vetti tattwatah.
3. For thousands of men, one problem is perfectionism; even among those successful invaders, there is only one thing I do not know well.
***
Bhoomiraapo'nalo vaayuh kham mano buddhireva cha;
Ahamkaara iteeyam me bhinnaa prakritirashtadhaa.
4. Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and egoism — so My Nature is divided into eight parts.
*** SRIMODBHAGAVAD GITA
Apareyamitastwanyaam prakritim viddhi me paraam;
Jeevabhootaam mahaabaaho yayedam dhaaryate jagat.
5. This is the lower Priest, Omighty-armed (Arjuna)! Know that you are different from my exalted Prakriti (Nature), the very life that this world passes on.
***
Etadyoneeni bhootaani sarvaaneetyupadhaaraya;
U-Aham kritsnasya jagatah prabhavah pralayastathaa.
6. Know that these two (My high and low position) are the wombs of all creatures. Therefore, I am the source and the end of the universe.
*** SRIMODBHAGAVAD GITA
Matha parataram naanyat kinchidasti dhananjaya;
Mayi sarvamidam protam sootre maniganaa iva.
7. Nothing is higher than me, O Arjuna! All of this is tied to Me like a set of jewels on a string.
NOTE: There is no other cause of the universe other than Me. I alone am the cause of the universe.
***
Raso'hamapsu kaunteya prabhaasmi shashisooryayoh;
Pranavah sarvavedeshu shabdah khe paurusham nrishu.
8. I am weak in water, O Arjuna! I am the light of the moon and the sun; I am the syllable Om in all Vedas, sound in ether, and intensity in men.
***
Ipunyo gandhah prithivyaam cha tejashchaasmi vibhaavasau;
Jeevanam sarvabhooteshu tapashchaasmi tapaswishu.
9. I am the sweet smell of the earth and the brightness of the fire, life to all creatures; and I am austerity in ascetics.
*** SRIMODBHAGAVAD GITA
Beejam maam sarvabhootaanaam viddhi paartha sanaatanam;
Buddha buddhimataamasmi tejastejaswinaamaham.
10. I know, O Arjuna, as the eternal offspring of all creatures; I am the wisdom of the wise; the splendor of the finest things I am!
***
Ibalam balavataam asmi kaamaraagavivarjitam;
Dharmaaviruddho bhooteshu kaamo'smi bharatarshabha.
11. To the mighty, I am a power without desire and attachment, and (of all creatures), I am an undeniable desire and Dharma, O Arjuna!
***
Yewaka saattvikaa bhaavaa raajasaastaamasaashcha ye;
Matta eveti taanviddhi na twaham teshu te amai.
12. Whatever (and) things that are pure, practical and infallible, know that they are from Me. They are Mine, yet I am not in them.
***
Tribhirgunamayair bhaavairebhih sarvamidam jagat;
Mohitam naabhijaanaati maamebhyah paramavyayam.
13. Deceived by these Circumstances (provinces or objects) formed by the three attributes of Nature, the whole world you do not know I am different from and do not repent.
***
Daivee hyeshaa gunamayee mama maayaa duratyayaa;
Maameva ye prapadyante maayaametaam taranti te.
