nāhaṃ prakāśaḥ sarvasya yoga māyā samāvṛtaḥ |
mūḍho’yaṃ nābhijānanti loko mām ajam avyayam || 25 ||

25. Veiled by Māya, I am not clearly evident to all. This deluded world does not recognise Me as
the unborn and immutable.

Commentary

“Concealed by the deluding potency (Māya) called ‘Yoga’ (‘union’ or association with material nature), I am associated with a human form and other generic structures which are characteristic of individual Selves. Because of this, My true nature is not apparent to all. The foolish, by seeing merely the human or the other generic structures that I have adopted, do not know that My powers are greater than those of Vāyu and Indra, that My lustre is more brilliant than that of sun and fire, that though [presently] visible to all, I am unborn, unchangeable, the cause of all the worlds, the Lord of all, and that I have assumed a human form, so that all those who want to, can take refuge in Me.”
