O best amoung the Bharatas(Arjuna),I am the bower of the powerful,without desire and passion.In the beings I am the desire which is in cordance with the scriptures.

All the mode of life, be it governed by concordance (sattoguna), passionate desires (rajoguna) or indolence (tamaguna) they all spring from me. But Iam not in them nor they in me.

Perplexed by these three modes of nature (gunas) this world fails to perceive me. I am beyond these and eternal.

This three fold divine yogamaya created by me is very difficult to understand. But those who take shelter in me, transcend it easily.

Those whose intelligence is bewildered by illusions (maya) having sinful nature and evil doers, are fools and they do not abide in me with devotion.

The best of Bharatas (Arjuna), those performing noble deeds, who worship me are of four kinds, the man in some peril, the seeker for wealth, the seeker after the knowledge and the man of wisdom.

Among these the wise who is in regular union with the self, having one-pointed devotion is very noble indeed. I am very dear to him and so is he to me.

All these are very superior but the wise, I say is truly cast in my image. Because, being in steady wisdom he abides in me alone as the ultimate goal.

After spending many life-times the man of true knowledge rests in me, knowing that Vasudeva (Lord) is eveything that is there. Indeed rare is such a sage.

But the ones whose intelligence is corrupted by desires become devotees of other gods and they perform many rituals, being driven by their natures.
