Listen further, Arjuna, to my supreme teaching,

which gives you such joy. Desiring your welfare,

O strong-armed warrior, I will tell you more.

Neither gods nor sages know my origin, for I

am the source from which the gods and sages

come. 3 Whoever knows me as the Lord of all

creation, without birth or beginning, knows

the truth and frees himself from all evil.

Discrimination, wisdom, understanding,

forgiveness, truth, self-control, and peace of

mind; pleasure and pain, birth and death, fear

and courage, honor and dishonor; 5 nonviolence,

charity, equanimity, contentment, and perseverance

in spiritual disciplines – all the different qualities

found in living creatures have their source in me.
