The Blessed Lord said: "To you, who are free from envy, I will now declare this most profound secret: this knowledge (jñāna), together with direct realization (vijñāna), by knowing which you will be liberated (mokṣa) from all misfortune."

This is the sovereign knowledge, the sovereign secret, the supreme purifier. It is directly perceivable, in accordance with natural law (dharma), very easy to perform, and imperishable.

O scorcher of foes (parantapa)! Persons who lack faith (śraddhā) in this natural law (dharma), failing to attain Me, return to the path of death and transmigration (saṃsāra).

By Me, this entire universe is pervaded in My unmanifest form. All beings are situated within Me, yet I am not contained within them.
न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् ।
भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः ॥५॥

5.
Nor are the beings truly abiding in Me. Behold My divine mystic power (yoga)! Though My Self (ātman) sustains all beings, it does not actually reside within them.
यथाकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान् ।
तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्युपधारय ॥६॥

6.
Just as the great, all-pervading wind always remains in the sky, so understand that all beings are located in Me.
सर्वभूतानि कौन्तेय प्रकृतिं यान्ति मामिकाम् ।
कल्पक्षये पुनस्तानि कल्पादौ विसृजाम्यहम् ॥७॥

O son of Kunti, at the end of a cosmic cycle (kalpa), all beings enter My nature (prakṛti). Then again, at the beginning of a cosmic cycle (kalpa), I emanate them forth.
प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः ।
भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात् ॥८॥
भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात् ॥८॥

avaśam bhūtagrāmam prakṛteḥ vaśāt visṛjāmi
avaśam bhūtagrāmam prakṛteḥ vaśāt visṛjāmi
8.
Taking hold of My own nature (prakṛti), I repeatedly emanate this entire multitude of beings, which are helpless and subject to the power of (prakṛti) nature.
न च मां तानि कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनंजय ।
उदासीनवदासीनमसक्तं तेषु कर्मसु ॥९॥
उदासीनवदासीनमसक्तं तेषु कर्मसु ॥९॥

dhanañjaya ca tāni karmāṇi mām na nibadhnanti
teṣu karmasu udāsīnavat āsīnam asaktam
teṣu karmasu udāsīnavat āsīnam asaktam
9.
And these actions (karma), O Dhanañjaya, do not bind Me, for I remain seated as if indifferent, unattached to those actions (karma).
मयाध्यक्षेण प्रकृतिः सूयते सचराचरम् ।
हेतुनानेन कौन्तेय जगद्विपरिवर्तते ॥१०॥
हेतुनानेन कौन्तेय जगद्विपरिवर्तते ॥१०॥

10.
Under My supervision, nature (prakṛti) produces all moving and unmoving things. Because of this cause, O son of Kuntī, the world repeatedly revolves.
अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुमाश्रितम् ।
परं भावमजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम् ॥११॥
परं भावमजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम् ॥११॥

param bhāvam ajānantaḥ mām avajānanti
param bhāvam ajānantaḥ mām avajānanti
11.
The deluded ones disregard Me, having assumed a human form, not knowing My supreme nature as the great Lord of all beings.
मोघाशा मोघकर्माणो मोघज्ञाना विचेतसः ।
राक्षसीमासुरीं चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिताः ॥१२॥
राक्षसीमासुरीं चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिताः ॥१२॥

12.
They are of vain hopes, vain actions (karma), and vain knowledge, with confused minds, having resorted to the delusive nature (prakṛti) of fiends and demons.
महात्मानस्तु मां पार्थ दैवीं प्रकृतिमाश्रिताः ।
भजन्त्यनन्यमनसो ज्ञात्वा भूतादिमव्ययम् ॥१३॥

13.
However, O Pārtha, the great souls (mahātmā), who take refuge in My divine nature (prakṛti), worship Me with undivided minds, knowing Me as the imperishable origin of all beings.
सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश्च दृढव्रताः ।
नमस्यन्तश्च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते ॥१४॥
नमस्यन्तश्च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते ॥१४॥

14.
Constantly glorifying Me, striving with firm resolve, and bowing down to Me with devotion (bhakti), these ever-steadfast ones worship Me.
ज्ञानयज्ञेन चाप्यन्ये यजन्तो मामुपासते ।
एकत्वेन पृथक्त्वेन बहुधा विश्वतोमुखम् ॥१५॥

15.
And still others worship Me—who am universally present (viśvatomukham)—by means of the knowledge-sacrifice (jñānayajña), perceiving Me in various ways: as one with all, or as separate.
अहं क्रतुरहं यज्ञः स्वधाहमहमौषधम् ।

16.
I am the Vedic ritual (kratu), I am the sacrifice (yajña), I am the ancestral oblation (svadhā), I am the medicinal herb (auṣadham). I am the sacred chant (mantra), I am indeed the clarified butter (ājya), I am the fire (agni), and I am the offering itself (hutam).

I am the father of this universe, the mother, the sustainer, and the grandfather. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier, the syllable Om (oṃkāra), and also the Ṛg, Sāma, and Yajur Vedas.

I am the goal, the supporter, the Lord, the witness, the abode, the refuge, and the loving friend. I am the origin, the dissolution, the foundation, the treasure-house, and the imperishable seed.

O Arjuna, I give heat; I withhold and send forth the rain. I am immortality and also death, and I am both existence and non-existence.

Those who know the three Vedas (traividyāḥ), who drink the soma juice, and whose sins are purified, worship Me with sacrifices (yajñaiḥ) and pray for passage to heaven. Having attained the meritorious world of Indra, they enjoy in heaven the divine pleasures of the gods.

They, having enjoyed that vast heavenly realm, re-enter the mortal world when their merit (puṇya) is exhausted. Thus, those who follow the ritual constitution (dharma) of the three Vedas, desiring worldly pleasures, attain a continuous cycle of coming and going (saṃsāra).

Those people who, without thinking of any other, worship Me, meditating on Me with single-minded devotion (bhakti), for those who are constantly committed to Me, I personally provide the acquisition (yoga) of what they lack and the preservation (kṣema) of what they have.

anvitāḥ yajante te api mām eva avidhipūrvakam yajanti
23.
O son of Kunti (Kaunteya), even those devotees (bhakta) who, endowed with faith (śraddhā), worship other deities, they too worship Me alone, but not according to the prescribed rules (avidhipūrvakam).
अहं हि सर्वयज्ञानां भोक्ता च प्रभुरेव च ।
न तु मामभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश्च्यवन्ति ते ॥२४॥
न तु मामभिजानन्ति तत्त्वेनातश्च्यवन्ति ते ॥२४॥
24. ahaṁ hi sarvayajñānāṁ bhoktā ca prabhureva ca ,
na tu māmabhijānanti tattvenātaścyavanti te.
na tu māmabhijānanti tattvenātaścyavanti te.
24.
aham hi sarvayajñānām bhoktā ca prabhuḥ eva ca
na tu mām abhijānanti tattvena ataḥ cyavanti te
na tu mām abhijānanti tattvena ataḥ cyavanti te
24.
aham hi sarvayajñānām bhoktā ca eva ca prabhuḥ
tu te mām tattvena na abhijānanti ataḥ cyavanti
tu te mām tattvena na abhijānanti ataḥ cyavanti
24.
Indeed, I am the enjoyer and also the Lord of all sacrifices (yajña). But they do not truly know My intrinsic nature (tattva), and therefore they fall back (cyavanti) into the cycle of saṃsāra.
यान्ति देवव्रता देवान्पितॄन्यान्ति पितृव्रताः ।
भूतानि यान्ति भूतेज्या यान्ति मद्याजिनोऽपि माम् ॥२५॥

25.
Those who are devoted to the gods go to the gods; those who are devoted to the ancestors go to the ancestors. Those who worship spirits go to the spirits. And those who worship Me also come to Me.
पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्या प्रयच्छति ।

tat bhaktyupahṛtam prayatātmanaḥ aham aśnāmi

26.
Whoever offers Me a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water with devotion (bhakti), I accept that devout offering from a person of purified self (ātman).

27.
kaunteya,

yat karoṣi,

27.
O son of Kunti, whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice (yajña), whatever you give, and whatever austerity (tapas) you practice, do that as an offering to Me.
शुभाशुभफलैरेवं मोक्ष्यसे कर्मबन्धनैः ।

saṃnyāsayogayuktātmā vimuktaḥ mām upaiṣyasi

28.
Thus, you will be liberated from the bonds of action (karma) that bear good and bad results. With your self (ātman) united by the discipline (yoga) of renunciation (saṃnyāsa), you will become completely free and come to Me.
समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः ।

29.
aham sarvabhūteṣu samaḥ.
me na dveṣyaḥ asti na priyaḥ.
ye tu mām bhaktyā bhajanti,
te mayi (bhavanti),

me na dveṣyaḥ asti na priyaḥ.
ye tu mām bhaktyā bhajanti,
te mayi (bhavanti),

29.
I am equal to all beings; no one is disliked by me, nor is anyone especially dear to me. But those who worship (bhakti) me with devotion (bhakti)—they are in me, and I am also in them.

saḥ sādhuḥ eva mantavyaḥ.
hi saḥ samyak vyavasitaḥ (asti).
saḥ sādhuḥ eva mantavyaḥ.
hi saḥ samyak vyavasitaḥ (asti).
30.
Even if a person of very wicked conduct worships me with exclusive devotion, he should certainly be considered righteous (sādhu), for he has indeed resolved correctly.

kaunteya,
pratijānīhi (yat) me bhaktaḥ na praṇaśyati.
kaunteya,
pratijānīhi (yat) me bhaktaḥ na praṇaśyati.
31.
Quickly he becomes a soul whose natural law (dharma) is righteousness and attains lasting peace (śānti). O son of Kunti (Kaunteya), declare firmly that my devotee (bhakta) never perishes.
मां हि पार्थ व्यपाश्रित्य येऽपि स्युः पापयोनयः ।

32.
mām hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye api syuḥ pāpayonayaḥ
striyaḥ vaiśyāḥ tathā śūdrāḥ te api yānti parām gatim
striyaḥ vaiśyāḥ tathā śūdrāḥ te api yānti parām gatim
32.
pārtha,
hi mām vyapāśritya ye pāpayonayaḥ api syuḥ,
striyaḥ,
tathā vaiśyāḥ (ca) śūdrāḥ (ca),
te api parām gatim yānti.
hi mām vyapāśritya ye pāpayonayaḥ api syuḥ,
striyaḥ,
tathā vaiśyāḥ (ca) śūdrāḥ (ca),

32.
For, O Pārtha, taking refuge in me, even those who may be of sinful birth—women, Vaiśyas, and likewise Śūdras—they too attain the supreme goal.

33.
What then, of pious Brahmins and devoted royal sages? Having attained this impermanent and sorrowful world, you should worship Me.

evam ātmānam yuktvā matparāyaṇaḥ mām eva eṣyasi

34.
Fix your mind on Me, be My devotee (bhakti), worship Me, and offer obeisances to Me. You will surely come to Me, having thus united your inner self (ātman) and making Me your supreme goal.
