Krishna, God, the Supreme Person reveals to us who He is:

I am the Goal, the Support, the Master, the Witness, the Abode, the Refuge and the dearest Friend. I am creation and annihilation, the Basis of all things, the Resting place and the eternal Seed.

I control heat, rain and drought. I am Immortality, as well as Death personified. Both being and non-being are in Me.

Who knows Me unborn, without beginning, the Sovereign of all the worlds, that one, without illusion among men, becomes free from all sin.

Of all the worlds, spiritual and material, I am the Source, from Me everything emanates. Infinite is My splendor. I am the Supreme Soul, residing in the heart of every being. Of all, I am the beginning, the middle and the end.

I am the Seed of all existence: Nothing mobile or immobile exists without Me. My divine glories know no limits.

What I have revealed to you is but one example, a tiny part of My infinite greatness. All that is beautiful, powerful, glorious, hatched, know it, is but a fragment of My splendor. For the whole universe, by a simple spark of My Person, I penetrate and sustain it.

Of all creation I am the beginning and the end, and the in-between. Among all the sciences, I am the spiritual science of the soul, and logicians, I am the conclusion, the final truth.

Those who worship Me with devotion, meditating on My absolute form, I fill their gaps and preserve what they possess.

I do not envy, I do not favor anyone, I am impartial. But whoever serves Me with devotion lives in Me; he is a friend to Me, as I am his friend.
