CHAPTER 9 Stirring to Spiritual Enlightenment अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता च प्रभुरेव च। न तु मामभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश्यवन्ति ते॥24॥ [ “They have to undergo rebirth because they are ignorant of the reality that I am the enjoyer as well as the master of all yagya.’’ ] Krishn is the enjoyer of yagya because whatever is offered as sacrifice is dissolved in him. He is the blessedness that results from yagya and also the master of the sacred rite. But they who do not know this fall from grace. They are destroyed, sometimes caught in the trap of worship of other gods and sometimes in the web of their own desires. Until they have perceived the essence, they are deprived even of the everlasting fulfillment of their desires. What ultimately becomes of them is disclosed in the following verse: यान्ति देवव्रता देवान् पितृन्यान्ति पितृव्रता:। भूतानि यान्ति भूतेज्यायान्ति मद्याजिनोऽपि माम् ॥25॥ [ “Men who are devoted to gods attain to gods, worshippers of ancestors attain to their ancestors, worshippers of beings attain to the state of beings, and my worshippers attain to me.” ]
