Krishna and Uddhava
“Atman is indeed the teacher of Self, especially in the case of man, because he finds out the final bliss by direct perception and inference.
“Wise men, well-versed in Sankhya [1] and Yoga practices, behold Me quite distinctly as Purusha, pervading all beings and possessing all powers.
“Many are the bodies created with one, two, three or four feet or many feet, as well as without feet; of these the human body is the most beloved of Me. For, in this human body, men who have controlled their mind and senses, who practise Yoga, who are fixed in meditation, truly find Me out, the Supreme Ruler who cannot be perceived or found out by means of the attributes such as the intellect, etc., that are perceived and by means of inference through those indications.
“On this subject a story of ancient times is also told in illustration. It is a conversation between an Avadhuta and Yadu of great prowess and intelligence the son of Yayati and grandson of Nahusha, powerful kings of lunar race [2].”
