Guest guest Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 11. Fools disregard Me clad in human form, not knowing My higher being as the Great Lord of beings. 12. Of vain hopes, of vain actions, of vain knowledge, devoid of discrimination, partaking only of the delusive nature of Rakshasas and Asuras. 13. The Mahatmas, O son of Pritha, partaking of the nature of the Devas, worship Me with mind turned to no other, knowing (Me) as the imperishable source of all beings. 14. Always talking of me, strenuous, firm in vows and reverent, they worship Me with love, always devout. 15. Worshipping by the wisdom-sacrifice, others adore Me, the All-faced, in various ways, as One, as different. 16. I am kratu, I am yajna, I am svadha, I am aushadha, I am mantra, Myself the butter, I am fire, I the act of offering. 17. I am the father of this world, the mother, the dispenser and grandshire; I am the knowable, the purifier, the syllable 'Om' and also the Rik, the Saman and the Yajus also. 18. I am the Goal, the Sustainer, the Lord, the Witness, the Abode, the Shelter and the Friend, the Origin, Dissolution and Stay, the Treasure-house, the Seed imperishable. 19. I give heat, I hold back and send forth rain, I am the immortality as well as death, existence and non-existence, O Arjuna. 20. Men of the three Vedas, the soma-drinkers, purified from sin, worshipping Me by sacrifices, pray for the goal of heaven; they reach the holy world of the Lord of the Gods and enjoy in heaven the heavenly pleasures of the Gods. to be continued...
