The Bhagavad…Gita； translated
restored again My Charioteer； in Krishna's kind disguise。
Krishna。 Yea！ thou hast seen； Arjuna！ because I loved thee well； The
secret countenance of Me； revealed by mystic spell； Shining； and
wonderful； and vast； majestic； manifold； Which none save thou in all the
years had favour to behold； For not by Vedas cometh this； nor sacrifice；
nor alms； Nor works well…done； nor penance long； nor prayers； nor
chaunted psalms； That mortal eyes should bear to view the Immortal Soul
unclad； Prince of the Kurus！ This was kept for thee alone！ Be glad！ Let no
more trouble shake thy heart； because thine eyes have seen My terror with
My glory。 As I before have been So will I be again for thee； with lightened
heart behold！ Once more I am thy Krishna； the form thou knew'st of old！
Sanjaya。 These words to Arjuna spake Vasudev； and straight did take
Back again the semblance dear Of the well…loved charioteer； Peace and
joy it did restore When the Prince beheld once more Mighty BRAHMA's
form and face Clothed in Krishna's gentle grace。
Arjuna。 Now that I see come back； Janardana！ This friendly human
frame； my mind can think Calm thoughts once more； my heart beats still
again！
Krishna。 Yea！ it was wonderful and terrible To view me as thou didst；
dear Prince！ The gods Dread and desire continually to view！ Yet not by
Vedas； nor from sacrifice； Nor penance； nor gift…giving； nor with prayer
Shall any so behold； as thou hast seen！ Only by fullest service； perfect
faith； And uttermost surrender am I known And seen； and entered into；
Indian Prince！ Who doeth all for Me； who findeth Me In all； adoreth
always； loveth all Which I have made； and Me； for Love's sole end That
man； Arjuna！ unto Me doth wend。

CHAPTER XII
Arjuna。 Lord！ of the men who serve Theetrue in heart As God
revealed； and of the men who serve； Worshipping Thee Unrevealed；
Unbodied； Far； Which take the better way of faith and life？
Krishna。 Whoever serve Meas I show Myself Constantly true； in
full devotion fixed； Those hold I very holy。 But who serve Worshipping
Me The One； The Invisible； The Unrevealed； Unnamed； Unthinkable；
Uttermost； All…pervading； Highest； Sure Who thus adore Me； mastering
their sense； Of one set mind to all； glad in all good； These blessed souls
come unto Me。
Yet； hard The travail is for such as bend their minds To reach th'
Unmanifest That viewless path Shall scarce be trod by man bearing the
flesh！ But whereso any doeth all his deeds Renouncing self for Me； full of
Me； fixed To serve only the Highest； night and day Musing on Mehim
will I swiftly lift Forth from life's ocean of distress and death； Whose soul
clings fast to Me。 Cling thou to Me！ Clasp Me with heart and mind！ so
shalt thou dwell Surely with Me on high。 But if thy thought Droops from
such height； if thou be'st weak to set Body and soul upon Me constantly；
Despair not！ give Me lower service！ seek To reach Me； worshipping with
steadfast will； And； if thou canst not worship steadfastly； Work for Me； toil
in works pleasing to Me！ For he that laboureth right for love of Me Shall
finally attain！ But； if in this Thy faint heart fails； bring Me thy failure！ find
Refuge in Me！ let fruits of labour go； Renouncing hope for Me； with
lowliest heart； So shalt thou come； for； though to know is more Than
diligence； yet worship better is Than knowing； and renouncing better still。
Near to renunciationvery near Dwelleth Eternal Peace！
Who hateth nought Of all which lives； living himself benign；
Compassionate； from arrogance exempt； Exempt from love of self；
unchangeable By good or ill； patient； contented； firm In faith； mastering
himself； true to his word； Seeking Me； heart and soul； vowed unto Me；
That man I love！ Who troubleth not his kind； And is not troubled by them；
clear of wrath； Living too high for gladness； grief； or fear； That man I love！
Who； dwelling quiet…eyed；＇FN#25＇ Stainless； serene； well…balanced；

The Bhagavad…Gita； translated
unperplexed； Working with Me； yet from all works detached； That man I
love！ Who； fixed in faith on Me； Dotes upon none； scorns none； rejoices
not； And grieves not； letting good or evil hap Light when it will； and when
it will depart； That man I love！ Who； unto friend and foe Keeping an equal
heart； with equal mind Bears shame and glory； with an equal peace Takes
heat and cold； pleasure and pain； abides Quit of desires； hears praise or
calumny In passionless restraint； unmoved by each； Linked by no ties to
earth； steadfast in Me； That man I love！ But most of all I love Those happy
ones to whom 'tis life to live In single fervid faith and love unseeing；
Drinking the blessed Amrit of my Being！

CHAPTER XIII
Arjuna。 Now would I hear； O gracious Kesava！＇FN#26＇ Of Life which
seems； and Soul beyond； which sees； And what it is we know…or think to
know。
Krishna。 Yea！ Son of Kunti！ for this flesh ye see Is Kshetra； is the field
where Life disports； And that which views and knows it is the Soul；
Kshetrajna。 In all 〃fields；〃 thou Indian prince！ I am Kshetrajna。 I am what
surveys！ Only that knowledge knows which knows the known By the
knower！＇FN#27＇ What it is； that 〃field〃 of life； What qualities it hath； and
whence it is； And why it changeth； and the faculty That wotteth it； the
mightiness of this； And how it wotteth…hear these things from Me！
。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。 。
。＇FN#28＇
The elements； the conscious life； the mind； The unseen vital force；
the nine strange gates Of the body； and the five domains of sense； Desire；
dislike； pleasure and pain； and thought Deep…woven； and persistency of
being； These all are wrought on Matter by the Soul！
Humbleness； truthfulness； and harmlessness； Patience and honour；
reverence for the wise。 Purity； constancy； control of self； Contempt of
sense…delights； self…sacrifice； Perception of the certitude of ill In birth；
death； age； disease； suffering； and sin； Detachment； lightly holding unto
home； Children； and wife； and all that bindeth men； An ever…tranquil heart
in fortunes good And fortunes evil； with a will set firm To worship Me
Me only！ ceasing not； Loving all solitudes； and shunning noise Of foolish
crowds； endeavours resolute To reach perception of the Utmost Soul； And
grace to understand what gain it were So to attain；this is t
