Chapter 7
'adhidaiva' viz., Brahma etc., all the deities are unworldly, 'adhiyajaa' viz., indwelling God in spite of lodging in the hearts of all, because of remaining untainted, is unworldly[1]
In the expression 'SadhibliatadhidaiYam mam the Lord mentions, "He who knows Me with adhibhuta, adhidaiva and adhiyajna," it proves that as these three are with God so they are unworldly, otherwise they are worldly. So long as there is no connection with God, all is worldly; when there is connection with God, all becomes unworldly. Therefore Karmayoga and Inanayoga are `worldly paths' as in them a striver's effort is important while 'Bhaktiyoga' is the unworldly path as in it there is predominance of refuge in God.
In fact there is no entity which is worldly. The real entity is only unworldly. But from the view-point of a striver the discrimination between the worldly and the unworldly has been mentioned. It means that this distinction between the worldly and the unworldly persists out of ignorance because of attachment and aversion. If attachment and aversion are renounced, all is unworldly, spiritual and divine—'vasudevah sarvam'. The reason is that the mundane has no independent existence. It is because of attachment and aversion that the mundane seems to exist and is valued. It is because of attachment and aversion that a man (the self) has made the world, which is the manifestation of God, mundane and he himself has also become mundane.
