7.1
मय्यासक्तमनाः पार्थ योगं युञ्जन्मदाश्रयः ।
असंशयं समग्रं मां यथा ज्ञास्यसि तच्छृणु ॥ ७.१ ॥
The Lord said: With your mind attached to me, Pārtha, practicing yoga and taking refuge in me, hear how you will know me fully and without doubt.
7.2
ज्ञानं तेऽहं सविज्ञानमिदं वक्ष्याम्यशेषतः ।
यज्ज्ञात्वा नेह भूयोऽन्यज्ज्ञातव्यमवशिष्यते ॥ ७.२ ॥
I will declare to you in full this knowledge together with realization, knowing which nothing further remains here to be known.
7.3
मनुष्याणां सहस्रेषु कश्चिद्यतति सिद्धये ।
यततामपि सिद्धानां कश्चिन्मां वेत्ति तत्त्वतः ॥ ७.३ ॥
Among thousands of people, scarcely one strives for perfection; and even among those who strive and attain perfection, scarcely one knows me in truth.
7.4
भूमिरापोऽनलो वायुः खं मनो बुद्धिरेव च ।
अहङ्कार इतीयं मे भिन्ना प्रकृतिरष्टधा ॥ ७.४ ॥
Earth, water, fire, air, space, mind, intellect and ego: thus is my nature divided eightfold.

जीवभूतां महाबाहो ययेदं धार्यते जगत् ॥ ७.५ ॥
This is my lower nature; but know, mighty-armed one, my other, higher nature, which has become the living being and by which this world is sustained.
7.6
एतद्योनीनि भूतानि सर्वाणीत्युपधारय ।
अहं कृत्स्नस्य जगतः प्रभवः प्रलयस्तथा ॥ ७.६ ॥
Understand that all beings have these two as their source. I am the origin of the entire world, and likewise its dissolution.
7.7
मत्तः परतरं नान्यत्किञ्चिदस्ति धनञ्जय ।
मयि सर्वमिदं प्रोतं सूत्रे मणिगणा इव ॥ ७.७ ॥
There is nothing whatsoever higher than me, Dhanañjaya. All this is strung on me like clusters of gems on a thread.
7.8
रसोऽहमप्सु कौन्तेय प्रभास्मि शशिसूर्ययोः ।
प्रणवः सर्ववेदेषु शब्दः खे पौरुषं नृषु ॥ ७.८ ॥
I am the taste in water, Kaunteya, the light in the moon and the sun; I am the syllable Om in all the Vedas, sound in space, and manliness in men.
7.9
पुण्यो गन्धः पृथिव्यां च तेजश्चास्मि विभावसौ ।
जीवनं सर्वभूतेषु तपश्चास्मि तपस्विषु ॥ ७.९ ॥
I am the pure fragrance in the earth and the brilliance in fire; I am the life in all beings and the austerity in ascetics.
7.10
बीजं मां सर्वभूतानां विद्धि पार्थ सनातनम् ।
बुद्धिर्बुद्धिमतामस्मि तेजस्तेजस्विनामहम् ॥ ७.१० ॥
Know me, Pārtha, as the eternal seed of all beings. I am the intelligence of the intelligent and the splendor of the splendid.
7.11
बलं बलवतां चाहं कामरागविवर्जितम् ।
धर्माविरुद्धो भूतेषु कामोऽस्मि भरतर्षभ ॥ ७.११ ॥
I am the strength of the strong, free from desire and passion; and in beings I am desire that is not contrary to dharma, best of the Bhāratas.
7.12
ये चैव सात्त्विका भावा राजसास्तामसाश्च ये ।
मत्त एवेति तान्विद्धि नत्वहं तेषु ते मयि ॥ ७.१२ ॥
And whatever states of being are of the nature of sattva, rajas, or tamas, know that they come from me alone. But I am not in them; they are in me.
7.13
त्रिभिर्गुणमयैर्भावैरेभिः सर्वमिदं जगत् ।
मोहितं नाभिजानाति मामेभ्यः परमव्ययम् ॥ ७.१३ ॥
Deluded by these three states made of the guṇas, this whole world does not recognize me, who am beyond them and imperishable.
7.14
दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया ।
मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते ॥ ७.१४ ॥
This divine māyā of mine, made of the guṇas, is hard to cross. Those who take refuge in me alone cross over this māyā.

माययापहृतज्ञाना आसुरं भावमाश्रिताः ॥ ७.१५ ॥

चतुर्विधा भजन्ते मां जनाः सुकृतिनोऽर्जुन ।
आर्तो जिज्ञासुरर्थार्थी ज्ञानी च भरतर्षभ ॥ ७.१६ ॥
Four kinds of virtuous people worship me, Arjuna: the distressed, the seeker of knowledge, the seeker of wealth, and the wise, O Bharatarṣabha.
7.17
तेषां ज्ञानी नित्ययुक्त एकभक्तिर्विशिष्यते ।
प्रियो हि ज्ञानिनोऽत्यर्थमहं स च मम प्रियः ॥ ७.१७ ॥
Of them the wise one, ever united and devoted to the One alone, excels. For I am exceedingly dear to the wise, and he is dear to me.
7.18
उदाराः सर्व एवैते ज्ञानी त्वात्मैव मे मतम् ।
आस्थितः स हि युक्तात्मा मामेवानुत्तमां गतिम् ॥ ७.१८ ॥

7.19
बहूनां जन्मनामन्ते ज्ञानवान्मां प्रपद्यते ।
वासुदेवः सर्वमिति स महात्मा सुदुर्लभः ॥ ७.१९ ॥

तं तं नियममास्थाय प्रकृत्या नियताः स्वया ॥ ७.२० ॥

अन्तवत्तु फलं तेषां तद्भवत्यल्पमेधसाम् ।
देवान्देवयजो यान्ति मद्भक्ता यान्ति मामपि ॥ ७.२३ ॥

इच्छाद्वेषसमुत्थेन द्वन्द्वमोहेन भारत ।
सर्वभूतानि संमोहं सर्गे यान्ति परन्तप ॥ ७.२७ ॥
Through the delusion of the pairs of opposites, arising from desire and aversion, Bhārata, all beings fall into delusion at birth, Parantapa.

येषां त्वन्तगतं पापं जनानां पुण्यकर्मणाम् ।
ते द्वन्द्वमोहनिर्मुक्ता भजन्ते मां दृढव्रताः ॥ ७.२८ ॥
But those people of virtuous deeds whose wrongdoing has come to an end, freed from the delusion of the opposites, worship me with firm resolve.
