7 ╭ Wisdom from Realization

krishna

1

With your mind intent on me, Arjuna,

discipline yourself with the practice of yoga.

Depend on me completely. Listen, and I

will dispel all your doubts; you will come to

know me fully and be united with me.

2

I will give you both jnana and vijnana.

When both these are realized, there is

nothing more you need to know.

3

One person in many thousands may seek perfection,

yet of these only a few reach the goal and come to

realize me. 4 Earth, water, fire, air, akasha, mind,

intellect, and ego – these are the eight divisions

of my prakriti. 5 But beyond this I have another,

higher nature, Arjuna; it supports the whole

universe and is the source of life in all beings.
