Chapter 15
Appendix:—'Yo mamevamasammudhojanati pumsottamam - He, who knows God is really undeluded (Gita 10/3) but he who does not know God is deluded—'avajananti math mddhah' (Gita 9/11).
Sa sarvavidbhajati mam sarvabhavena bhlirata:-The perishable and the imperishable—both are fragments of the enlire form of God, therefore he who is the knower of these two, is not the knower of all (omniscient). But the person who knows the Supreme Person, Who transcends the perishable and is superior to the imperishable, is the knower of all viz., is the knower of the entire form of God. Such an omniscient devotee remains engaged in God in everyway by doing different duties—'sarvatha vartamano'pi sa yogi mayi vartate' (Gita 6/31); because from his view-point there is no other entity at all besides God.
In the Gita, the term 'sarvavit' (knower of all) has been used only for a devotee. A devotee knows the entire viz., the worldly and the unworldly (divine)—bolh, therefore he is sarvavit'. Within lhe worldly, the unworldly (divine) cannot be included but within the unworldly, the worldly is included. Therefore the knower of the. attributeless God (Imperishable) is not the knower of all but the devotee who knows the entire form of God is the knower of all.
