When it is so, why do all people not take refuge in You? Those who embrace the demoniac nature and whose knowledge (discrimination) is veiled by illusion—out of them the very mean and sinful deluded persons don't take refuge in Me.(15) Then, who take refuge in You, O Lord? O noble Arjuna, four types of virtuous men—the sufferers, the seekers of wealth, the seekers of knowledge and the men of wisdom worship Me viz., seek refuge in Me.(16) who stands supreme among these virtuous four? Of these the wise man, who is possessed of exclusive devotion stands Supreme, because he ever remains merged in Me. So I am extremely dear to the wise and he is extremely dear to me.(17) Are the other three not noble? All of them are noble. How is, then, the wise Superior to others? The wise is verily My ownself—this is my conviction; for steadfast in mind, he is established in Me alone, as the Supreme Goal. The sufferer wants deliverance from distress, the seekers of wealth and Knowledge want wealth and knowledge. But the wise wants nothing.(18) Why does the wise stand foremost? In the very last of all births viz., in this birth,the man of wisdom worships Mc, realizing that all is God. Rare indeed is that great soul.(19) |
