  Speaker 1: Chapter seven, Christna learn now, dear Prince, how if thy
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: soul be set ever on me, still exercising you, still
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: making me thy refuge, thou shalt come most surely unto
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: perfect hold of me. I'll declare to thee that utmost low,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: whole and particular, which, when thou know'st leaveth no more
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to know. Here in this world of many thousand mortals,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: one perchance striveth for truth. And of those few that
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: strive nay and rise high, one only here and there
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: knoweth me as I am the very truth, earth, water, flame,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: e'er either life and mind. And individually those eight make
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: up the showing of me manifest. These be my lower nature,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: learn the higher. Whereby thou valiant one his universities, by
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: its principle of life produced, whereby the worlds of visible
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: things are born as from a yone. No I am
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: that womb I make, and I unmake this universe than me.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: There is no other master, Prince, no other maker. All
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: these hang on me as hangs a row of pearlse
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: upon its string. I am the fresh taste of the water.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I the silver of the moon, the gold of the sun,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the world of worship in the waves, the thrill that
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: passeth in the ether, and the strength of a man's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: shed seed. I am the good, sweet smell of the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: moist in the earth. I am the fire's red light,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the htal air moving in all which moves, the holiness
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of hollowed souls, the root un dying whence hath sprung wateries,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the wisdom of the wise, the intellect of the informed,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the greatness of the great, the splendor of the splendid
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Kunti's son. These am I free from passion and desire.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yet am I right desire in all who yearn chief
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of the Barathas. For all those moods sooth, fast, or
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: passionate or ignorant, which nature frames deduce from me. But
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: all are merged in me, not I in them. The
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: world deceived by those three qualities of being wotteth not me,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: who am outside them, all above them, all eternal. Hard
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it is to pierce that veil divine of various shows,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: which hideth me. Yet they who worship me pierce it
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and pass beyond. I am not known to evil doers,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: nor to foolish ones, nor to the base and churlish,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: nor to those whose mind is cheated by the show
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of things, nor those that take the way of asuras.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Four sorts of mortals know me he who weeps Arjuna,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and the man who yearns to know, and he who
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: toils to help, and he who sits certain of me
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: ENLiGHT hand. Of these four O Prince of India, highest
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: nearest best. That last is the duo's soul, wise intent
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: upon the one dear above all. Am I to him,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and he is dearest unto me. All for our good
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and seek me but mine, O, the true of heart.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: The faithful stayed on me, taking me as their utmost blessedness.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: They are not mine, but I even eye myself art
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: end of many births to me they come, yet heart,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the wise Mahatma is to find that man who saith
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: always was there. There be those two whose knowledge turned
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: aside by this desire or that gives them to serve
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: some lower gods with various rights, constrained by that which
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: molded them unto all such worship. What shrine they will,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: what shapes in faith? It's I who give them faith.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I am content the heart thus asking favor from its
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: god darkened but ardent hath the end it craves the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: lesser blessing. But it's I who give. Yet soon is withered.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: What small fruit they read? Those men of little minds
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: who worship, so go where they worshiped, passing with their guards.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: But mind come unto me blind, or the eyes which
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: deemed unmanifested, manifest, not comprehending me in my true self, imperishable, ruseless, undeclared,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: hidden behind my magic veil of shows I am not
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: seen by all. I am not known, unborn and changeless
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to the idle world. But I Arjuna, know all things
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: which were, and all which are, and all which are
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to be. Albeit not one among them knoweth me by passion,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: for the pass of opposites, by those trains, snaps of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: like and dislike. Prince, all creatures bewildered, save some few
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: who quit of sins, wholly enact, informed, freed from the opposites,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and fixed in faith. Clay one to me who p
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: who seek in me, refuse from birth and death. Those
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: have the truth loose know me, Romma, know me, soul
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of souls, the Adyatman, no karma my work. No. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: am Ah the Buddha, lord of life, and Ah the Deva,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: lord of all the gods and Ah, the Yegna, Lord
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of Sacrifice, Worship me well with hearts of love and faith,
• 5:25
