The Blessed Lord said:
1. Again, O mighty-armed, do you listen to My supreme word, which I, wishing your welfare, will tell you who are delighted to hear Me.
2. Neither the hosts of Devas, nor the great Rishis, know My origin, for in every way I am the source of all the Devas and the great Rishis.
3. He who knows Me, birthless and beginningless, the great Lord of worlds—he, among mortals, is undeluded, he is freed from all sins.
4-5. Intellect, knowledge, non-delusion, forbearance, truth, restraint of the external senses, calmness of heart, happiness, misery, birth, death, fear, as well as fearlessness, non-injury, evenness, contentment, austerity, benevolence, good name, as well as ill-fame—these different kinds of qualities of beings arise from Me alone.
6. The seven great Rishis as well as the four ancient Manus, possessed of powers like Me due to their thoughts being fixed on Me, were born of My mind; from them are these creatures in the world.
7. He who in reality knows these manifold manifestations of My being and this Yoga power of Mine, becomes established in the unshakable Yoga; there is no doubt about it.
8. l am the origin of all, from Me everything evolves—thus thinking the wise worship Me with loving consciousness.
9. With their minds wholly in Me, with their senses absorbed in Me, enlightening one another, and always speaking of Me, they are satisfied and delighted.
10. To them, ever steadfast and serving Me with affection, I give that Buddhi Yoga by which they come unto Me.
11. Out of mere compassion for them, I, abiding in their hearts, destroy the darkness in them born of ignorance, by the luminous lamp of knowledge.
—Bhagavad Gita, 10:1-11
