11. The Yogis striving for perfection behold Him dwelling in themselves; but the unrefined and unintelligent, even though striving, see Him not.
12. The light which, residing in the sun illumines the whole world, that which is in the moon and in the fire—know that light to be Mine.
13. Entering the earth with My energy, I support all beings, and I nourish all the herbs, becoming the watery moon.
14. Abiding in the body of living beings as the fire Vaishvânara, I, associated with Prâna and Apâna, digest the fourfold food.
15. I am centred in the hearts of all; memory and perception as well as their loss come from Me. I am verily that which has to be known by all the Vedas, I indeed am the Author of the Vedânta, and the Knower of the Veda am I.
16. There are two Purushas in the world—the Perishable and the Imperishable. All beings are the Perishable; and the Kutastha is called Imperishable.
17. But there is another, the Supreme Purusha, called the Highest Self, the immutable Lord, who pervading the three worlds, sustains them.
18. As I transcend the Perishable and am above even the Imperishable, therefore am I in the world and in the Veda celebrated as the Purushottama, the Highest Purusha.
19. He who free from delusion thus knows Me, the Highest Spirit, he knowing all, worships Me with all his heart, O descendant of Bharata.
20. Thus, O sinless one, has this most profound teaching been imparted by Me. Knowing this one attains the highest intelligence and will have accomplished all one's duties, O descendant of Bharata.
—Bhagavad Gita, 15:11-20
