SEVENTH DISCOURSE.

त्रिभिर्गुणमयैर्भावैरेभिः सर्वमिदं जगत् । मोहितं नाभिजानाति मामेभ्यः परमव्ययम् ॥ १३ ॥

All this world, deluded by these natures made by the three qualities,[1] knoweth not Me, above these, imperishable. (13)

दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया । मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते ॥ १४ ॥

This divine illusion[2] of Mine, caused by the qualities,[1] is hard to pierce; they who come to Me, they cross over this illusion.[2](14)

न मां दुष्कृतिनो मूढाः प्रपद्यन्ते नराधमाः । माययाऽपहृतज्ञाना आसुरं भावमाश्रिताः ॥ १५॥

The evil-doing, the deluded, the vilest men, they come not to Me, they whose wisdom is destroyed by illusion,[2] who have embraced the nature of demons.[3](15)
