CHAPTER 7 Immaculate Knowledge बहूनां जन्मनामन्ते ज्ञानवान्मां प्रपद्यते। वासुदेव: सर्वमिति स महात्मा सुदुर्लभ:॥19॥ [ “The great Soul is indeed most rare who worhips me with the knowledge, acquired at the end of many births, that I (Vasudev) am the only reality.” ] The enlightened sage, who is at last blessed with perception after meditating for many births, undertakes divine adoration with the conviction that Krishn is everything. Such a sage is the most rare. He does not worship any external entity called Vasudev, but rather feels the presence of God within his own Self. This is the man with discrimination whom Krishn also describes as a seer. Only such realized sages can instruct the human society that is outside them. These seers, who have directly perceived reality, are according to Krishn the most rare. So all men should worship God because he is the giver of spiritual glory as well as pleasure. Yet people do not worship him. The paradox is accounted for in the following verse.
