COMMENTARY

Fools who do not have discrimination despise Me, dwelling in human
form. I have taken this body in order to bless My devotees. These fools have no knowledge of My
higher Being. I am the great Lord, the Supreme.

Moghaashaa moghakarmaano moghajnaanaa vichetasah;
Raakshaseemaasureem chaiva prakritim mohineem shritaah.

12. Of vain hopes, of vain actions, of vain knowledge and senseless, they verily are
possessed of the deceitful nature of demons and undivine beings.

Mahaatmaanastu maam paartha daiveem prakritimaashritaah;
Bhajantyananyamanaso jnaatwaa bhootaadimavyayam.

13. But the great souls, O Arjuna, partaking of My divine nature, worship Me with a single
mind (with the mind devoted to nothing else), knowing Me as the imperishable source of beings!
