From The Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10
The Blessed Lord said:
I am the source of all; from Me everything
evolves; understanding thus, the wise, endowed with meditation, worship Me. Ch.10 Sloka 8.
With
their mind and their life wholly absorbed in Me, enlightening each other and ever speaking of Me, they are satisfied
and delighted. Ch 10 Sloka 9.
To them who are ever steadfast, worshipping Me with love,
I give the Yoga of discrimination by which they come to Me. Ch.10 Sloka 10.
Out of mere
compassion for them, I, dwelling within their Self, destroy the darkness born of ignorance by the luminous lamp of
knowledge. Ch. 10 Sloka 11. ==========================
