Why do all the people not worship you thus? Those whose this wisdom that all is God, has been led astray by desires, constrained by their own nature take refuge in other gods viz., worship other gods. following several methods and rites.(20) Why don't you attract those persons to your worship? I don't take away their liberty betstowed upon them. But whatever celestial form a devotee seeks to worship with faith, I stabilize the faith in that form and endowed with that faith he worships that deity. But O brother, there is a strange fact that the desired result, which he gets by worshipping that deity, is ordained by Me. But the fruit so gained by the people of meagre intelligence, who worship gods with an interested motive is perishable. Such worshippers of gods, at the most, attain the worlds of gods from where they have to return, whereas My devotees attain me.(21-23) When Your devotees attain You, why is it that all don't seek You? O brother, men of poor understanding without knowing My noblest imperishable supreme state think of Me, the unmanifest, as an oridnary mortal. So how can they seek Me?(24) They don't know You in Your supreme state, but why are You not manifest to them? O brother, veiled by My Yogamayã (divine potency) I am not manifest to therm because these ignorant folk do not recognize Me as the unborn and Imperishable Supreme.(25) |
