This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct perception of the self by realisation, it is the perfection of religion — it is everlasting and joyfully performed.

मयाध्यक्षेण प्रकृतिः सूयते सचराचरम् ।हेतुनानेन कौन्तेय जगद्विपरिवर्तते ॥
Mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaramHetunānena Kaunteya jagad viparivartate
This material nature, which is one of My energies, is working under My direction — producing all moving and non-moving beings. Under its rule this manifestation is created and annihilated again and again.

Samo'haṃ sarva-bhūteṣu na me dveṣyo'sti na priyaḥYe bhajanti tu māṃ bhaktyā mayi te teṣu cāpy aham
I am equal to all living beings — no one is dear to Me nor is anyone My enemy. But those who worship Me with devotion are in Me, and I am in them.
