CHAPTER 7 Immaculate Knowledge अन्तवत्तु फलं तेषां तद्भवत्यल्पमेधसाम्। देवान्देवयजो यान्ति मद्भक्ता यान्ति मामपि॥23॥ [ “But the rewards of these deluded men are finite because they only attain to the gods they worship, whereas the man who worships me howsoever he does it - realizes me.” ] The prizes won by these ignorant men are destructible. They are impermanent because they are worldly pleasures which have a beginning and an end. The pleasures that are with us today slip away from us tomorrow. Men who worship other gods acquire powers that are themselves perishable. The whole world, from the level of divinities to that of the lowest creatues, is mutable and subject to death. On the contrary, the man who worships God attains to him and so to the ineffable peace that descends on the Soul after he is united with God. Yogeshwar Krishn had exhorted Arjun earlier to foster gods, that is pious impulses, through the observance of yagya. Good fortune accrues from an increases and strengthening of these riches.
