Kṛṣṇa is supreme, illimitable and immortal. He does not become an ordinary human being by assuming a human form.'
नाहं प्रकाशः सर्वस्य योगमायासमावृतः ।
मूढोऽयं नाभिजानाति लोको मामजमव्ययम्
॥ ७-२५॥
nāhaṁ prakāśaḥ sarvasya
yogamāyāsamāvṛtaḥ mūḍhoyaṁ
nābhijānāti loko māmajamavyayam
I am never revealed to the foolish
and unintelligent, covered as I am by
My divine power; the ignorant do
not know Me, unborn and eternal.
POWERFUL COGNITION
It is the awareness of that divinity in Him that makes Kṛṣṇa divine. If that awareness happens in you, you will be in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
वेदाहं समतीतानि वर्तमानानि चार्जुन ।
भविष्याणि च भूतानि मां तु वेद न कश्चन
॥ ७-२६ ॥
vedāhaṁ samatī tāni vartamānāni
cārjuna bhaviṣyāṇi ca bhūtāni
māṁ tu veda na kaścana
O Arjuna, as the supreme
personality of Godhead, I know
all that has happened, all that is
happening, and all that is to
happen. I also know all living
entities; but no one knows Me.
POWERFUL COGNITION
We cannot know Kṛṣṇa unless we are in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
इच्छाद्वेषसमुत्थेन द्वन्द्वमोहेन भारत ।
सर्वभूतानि सम्मोहं सर्गे यान्ति परन्तप
॥ ७-२७॥
icchādveṣasamutthena
dvandvamohena bhārata sarvabhūtāni
saṃmohaṃ sarge yānti parantapa
O scion of Bhārata (Arjuna), O
conqueror of the foe, Parantapa, all
living entities are born into delusion,
overcome by the dualities of
attachment and aversion.
POWERFUL COGNITION
Shedding attachment and aversion is the first step to awareness.
