The Bhagavad Gita by Eknath Easwaran

╭ chapter ten
6
The seven great sages and the four ancient
ancestors were born from my mind and received
my power. From them came all the creatures of
this world. 7 Whoever understands my power
and the mystery of my manifestations comes
without doubt to be united with me.
8
I am the source from which all creatures evolve.
The wise remember this and worship me with loving
devotion. 9 Their thoughts are all absorbed in me, and
all their vitality flows to me. Teaching one another,
talking about me always, they are happy and fulfilled.
10
To those steadfast in love and devotion I give
spiritual wisdom, so that they may come to me.
11
Out of compassion I destroy the darkness of their
ignorance. From within them I light the lamp of
wisdom and dispel all darkness from their lives.

You are Brahman supreme, the highest abode,
the supreme purifier, the self-luminous, eternal
spirit, first among the gods, unborn and infinite.
13
The great sages and seers – Narada, Asita,
Devala, and Vyasa too – have acclaimed you
thus; now you have declared it to me yourself.
