glory. 13 With a drop of my energy I enter the earth and

support all creatures. Through the moon, the vessel of

life-giving fluid, I nourish all plants. 14 I enter breathing

creatures and dwell within as the life-giving breath.

I am the fire in the stomach which digests all food.

15

Entering into every heart, I give the power

to remember and understand; it is I again who

take that power away. All the scriptures lead

to me; I am their author and their wisdom.

16

In this world there are two orders of being: the

perishable, separate creature and the changeless

spirit. 17 But beyond these there is another, the

supreme Self, the eternal Lord, who enters into

the entire cosmos and supports it from within.

18

I am that supreme Self, praised by the scriptures

as beyond the changing and the changeless. 19 Those

who see in me that supreme Self see truly. They

have found the source of all wisdom, Arjuna,

and they worship me with all their heart.

20

I have shared this profound truth with you,

Arjuna. Those who understand it will attain wisdom;

they will have done that which has to be done.
