Water I am the flavor, sun and moon light, Vedic mantras the syllable om. I am the sound in ether, and in man the aptitude. From the earth I am the original perfume, and fire the heat. I am the life in all that lives, and the asceticism of the ascetic. I am of all beings the first seed. Of the intelligent I am the intelligence, and of the mighty prowess. I am the strength of the fort free from desire and passion. I am the carnal union which does not infringe the principles of religion. Every state of being, whether it is the Virtue, the Passion, or the Ignorance, is only a manifestation of My energy. In a sense, I am all; Never, however, I lose My individuality. Understand that in the gunas I am not submissive. Lost by the three gunas [Virtue, passion and ignorance], the whole Universe ignores who I am, I the Supreme, the Intarissable, who transcends these material influences. The energy constituted by the three gunas, this divine energy, mine, one can not without difficulty surpass it. But who abandons himself to Me easily crosses the limits.
I always carry My devotees in My heart, as they always carry me in their hearts. Just as I am all for them, I can not forget them. The most intimate relation unites me to the pure servants. Established in knowledge, they never lose the spiritual bond that unites them to Me; So are they very dear to me. Absorbed in My absolute service, the righteous comes to Me. After many rebirths, when he knows that I am all that is, the cause of all causes, man with true knowledge surrenders to Me. Rare such a great soul.
Because I am God, the Supreme Person, I know everything about the past, the present and the future. I also know all beings, but Me, no one knows Me. The material manifestation is constantly changing, and the universe, together with all its celestial beings, constitutes the universal form of the Supreme Lord and I am this Lord, the Master of sacrifice, who as Supreme Soul dwells in the heart of Each incarnate being.
Whoever, at the moment of leaving the body, remembers Me alone, instantly attains My dwelling, does not doubt it, for it is the thoughts and memories of being at the moment of leaving The body determines its future condition. When they have reached Me, the souls realized imbued with devotion, these noble souls, having thereby risen to the highest perfection, never again return to this transitional world, where suffering reigns.
Though engaged in activities of all kinds, My devotee, under My protection, reaches through My grace the eternal and imperishable Abode.
