When we understand that the whole universe is divine,when we experience Vishnu, meaning when we experience eternal bliss,we attract Lakshmi, wealth!

ते तं भुक्त्वा स्वर्गलोकं विशालं क्षीणे पुण्ये मर्त्यलोकं विशन्ति ।
एवं त्रयीधर्ममनुप्रपन्ना गतागतं कामकामा लभन्ते
॥ ९-२१॥

te taṁ bhuktvā svargalokaṁ
viśālaṁ kṣīṇe puṇye
martyalokaṁ viśanti evaṁ
trayīdharmam anuprapannā
gatāgataṁ kāmakāmā labhante

Once they have thus enjoyed heavenly sense pleasure, they are reborn on this planet again. By practicing vedic rituals as result oriented actions, they are bound by the cycle of birth and death.

POWERFUL COGNITION

Continuously, the universe cares for you. The Divine waits for you. It responds to your thoughts.

अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते ।
तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम्
॥९-२२॥

ananyāścintayanto māṁ ye janāḥ
paryupāsate teṣāṁ nityābhiyuktānāṁ
yogakṣemaṁ vahāmy aham

When you reside in My consciousness, always fixed in undivided remembrance, whatever you lack I give [yoga]. And whatever you have, I preserve [kṣema].

POWERFUL COGNITION

I take care of you in all ways. I give them whatever they want spiritually and materially and I take care that it stays with them. I take care that nobody takes it away from them.

9.23

येऽप्यन्यदेवता भक्ता यजन्ते श्रद्धयान्विताः।
तेऽपि मामेव कौन्तेय यजन्त्यविधिपूर्वकम्
॥ ९-२३॥

ye'pyanyadevatā bhaktā yajante
śraddhayā'nvitāḥ te'pi mām
eva kaunteya yajanty
avidhipūrvakam

Even those who worship other deities,
they too worship Me, O Kaunteya (son
of Kuntī), but without true
understanding.

POWERFUL COGNITION

We will have everything and nothing will be lost.

9.24

अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता च प्रभुरेव च ।
न तु मामभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश्च्यवन्ति ते
॥ ९-२४॥

ahaṁ hi sarvayajñānāṁ bhoktā ca
prabhureva ca na tu māṁ abhijānanti
tattvenātaścyavanti te

I am the only enjoyer [bhokta] and the only Lord [prabhu] of all sacrifices. Those who do not recognize My true transcendental nature are born again and again.

POWERFUL COGNITION

The whole of Existence responds to our inner space.
