Bhagavad Gita : Chapter 10

Krishna:
Again, please, Arjuna, listen to my words of great importance,which I am telling you because you like to hear ME, and because I wish your well-being.

Neither the gods, nor the great Seers know MY origins. I am the the origin of the gods and the seers.

Among men, he, who, not deceived by maya, knows ME as the unborn beginning-less Lord of all the worlds, will be freed from all sins.

The various kinds of mental states found among beings, intelligence,knowledge, clarity of mind, patience, truth, mastery of body and mind,pleasure, pain, birth , death, fear, courage, nonviolence, equality,contentment, penance, generousness, fame, notoriety, are all derived from ME.

The ancient seven Maharshis and the four Manus, are MY mental manifestations; all this creation is their progeny.

When he who knows truly this greatness and power of MINE, his yoga will be unshakable, no doubt about it.

Wise men worship ME with devotion, knowing that I am the source of all things and that all things proceed from ME. They enjoy themselves, happily thinking of ME, all senses centred on ME, and talking about ME among themselves.

To those who, thus always devoted, worship ME with pleasure, I impart the knowledge by which they could come to ME. In compassion to them. I dispel the darkness of their ignorance by the bright light of knowledge.

Arjuna:
You are the supreme brahma, the supreme abode, the holiest of holies;and all the seers, Narada the godly saint, Asitha, Devala and Vyasahave all described you as the one eternal person, resplendent first god, all-pervading , without birth.

You yourself tell me so.I believe all this you tell me. Nobody, not the devas not the asuras,know your real nature. Only You know you completely, supreme Person,the creator and lord of all beings, god of all gods, and master of the worlds.

Please tell me all your divine powers in full, by means of which you spread yourself through all these worlds.

O master of yoga, how may I, constantly thinking about you, know you? In what forms should I think of you, lord? Please tell me again in detail all your yogic powers, Krishna. I am never satisfied,hearing your invigorating words.
