THE YOGA
OF THE SUPREME SPIRIT
(…continued)
Verse 11
The Yogis
striving (for perfection) behold Him dwelling in the Self; but, the unrefined
and unintelligent, even though striving, see Him not.
Verse 12
That
light which residing in the sun, illumines the whole world, that which is in
the moon and in the fire—know that light to be Mine.
Verse 13
Permeating
the earth I support all beings by (My) energy; and, having become the watery
moon, I nourish all herbs.
Verse 14
Having become the fire Vaisvanara,
I abide in the body of living beings and, associated with the Prana and Apana, digest the fourfold food.
Verse 15
And, I am seated in the hearts of all; from Me are memory,
knowledge, as well as their absence. I am verily that which has to be known by
all the Vedas; I am indeed the author of the Vedanta, and the knower of the
Vedas am I.
Verse 16
Two Purushas there are
in this world, the perishable and the imperishable. All beings are the
perishable, and the Kutastha is
called the imperishable.
Verse 17
But distinct is the Supreme Purusha
called the highest Self, the indestructible Lord who, pervading the three
worlds, sustains them.
Verse 18
As I transcend the perishable and am even higher than the
imperishable, I am declared as the highest Purusha
in the world and in the Vedas.
Verse 19
He who, undeluded, knows Me thus as the highest Purusha, he, knowing all, worships Me
with his whole being (heart), O Arjuna!
Verse 20
Thus, this most secret science has been taught by Me, O sinless
one! On knowing this, a man becomes wise, and all his duties are accomplished,
O Arjuna!

Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita, the science
of the Eternal, the scripture of Yoga, the dialogue between Sri Krishna and
Arjuna, ends the fifteenth discourse entitled:
“The Yoga of the Supreme Spirit”
