13. But the great-souled ones, O Pārtha, possessed of divine nature, worship Me with a single mind, knowing Me to be the origin of beings and immutable. But the great souled ones, those who are not mean-minded O Pārtha, being possessed of divine nature, the nature of the gods (devas), characterised by control over the body, mind and senses, (and also by) compassion, faith, etc., worship, resort to, Me, the Lord (Iśyara) with a single mind, with their mind turned to nothing else, knowing[1] Me to be the origin of all beings, the primeval cause of the elements, ākāśa and others, and of all living creatures as well, and immutable How (do they worship)? |
