Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 20.
Those whose minds are distorted by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures.
Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 21.
I am in everyone's heart as the Supersoul. As soon as one desires to worship the demigods, I make his faith steady so that he can devote himself to some particular deity.
Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 22.
Endowed with such a faith, he seeks favors of a particular demigod and obtains his desires. But in actuality these benefits are bestowed by Me alone.
Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 23.
Men of small intelligence worship the demigods, and their fruits are limited and temporary. Those who worship the demigods go to the planets of the demigods, but My devotees ultimately reach My supreme planet.
Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 24.
Unintelligent men, who know Me not, think that I have assumed this form and personality. Due to their small knowledge, they do not know My higher nature, which is changeless and supreme.
Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 25.
I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My eternal creative potency [yoga-maya]; and so the deluded world knows Me not, who am unborn and infallible.
Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 26.
As the Supreme Personality of Godhead, I know everything that has happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are yet to come. I also know all living entities; but Me no one knows.
Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 27. (Knowledge of the Absolute)
All living entities are born into delusion, overcome by the dualities of desire and hate.
Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 28. (Knowledge of the Absolute)
Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life, whose sinful actions are completely eradicated and who are freed from the duality of delusion, engage themselves in My service with determination.
Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 29. (Knowledge of the Absolute)
Intelligent persons who are endeavoring for liberation from old age and death take refuge in Me (God) in devotional service. They are actually Brahman (the primal source and ultimate goal of all beings) because they entirely know everything about transcendental and fruitive activities.
Krishna,Geeta,Chapter 7, Verse 30. (Knowledge of the Absolute)
Those who know Me as the Supreme Lord, as the governing principle of the material manifestation, who know Me as the one underlying all the demigods and as the one sustaining all sacrifices, can, with steadfast mind, understand and know Me even at the time of death.
