Chapter 7
ज्ञानविज्ञानयोग
Know Thyself and become one with the universe, fam
Krishna drops some major truth bombs in Chapter 7, 'Gyaan Vigyana Yoga,' revealing himself as the ultimate OG, the source of everything. He exposes Maya, the illusionary matrix of this world, which is a total vibe killer, but if you surrender to Krishna, you'll level up real quick. He breaks down four types of devotees who are all about that Krishna life and four types who are totally not feeling it. Basically, Krishna is the ultimate reality, and if you get that, you'll reach enlightenment and become one with the divine. It's a total mind-blowing spiritual glow-up.
Verse 1
The OG Lord said, "Yo, Arjuna, listen up. Wanna know me, for real, no cap? Focus on me, practice yoga, and put your faith in me."
Verse 2
I'm 'bout to spill ALL the tea on this knowledge, fam. It's the ultimate combo of book smarts and straight-up self-realization. Once you know this, you're good. Nothing else matters.
Verse 3
Out of a thousand people, maybe one even tries to become a GOAT. And out of those GOATs, only one actually knows the real me.
Verse 4
Yo, it's like this: Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect, and ego—that's My Nature, broken down into eight parts.
Verse 5
Yo, Arjuna, strong arms and all, this nature thing? It's basic. It's totally different from my higher nature, the ultimate life force that keeps this whole world poppin'.
Verse 6
Bet. These two forces? They're the womb of everything, no cap. I'm the source, the beginning and the end of the whole universe.
Verse 7
No cap, Arjuna, there ain't nothin' higher than me. Everything's strung on me, like, a sick chain of fire gems.
Verse 8
Yo, Arjuna, I'm the flavor in water, the glow-up in the sun and moon, the Om in all the Vedas, the sound in the air, and the straight-up alpha energy in all dudes.
Verse 9
I'm the *drip* of the earth, the fire's *lit* glow, the life force of everything, and the *grind* of all the ascetics.
Verse 10
Arjuna, listen up: I'm the eternal seed, the ultimate source of everything and everyone. I'm the brains behind all the brainiacs, the glow-up of everything that's fire.
Verse 11
Yo, Arjuna, I'm the ultimate strength, no cap, all chill and detached. And, like, in every being, I'm the desire that's all about that Dharma life, you know?
Verse 12
Whatever's pure, active, or chill—know that it's all from me. It's all in me, but I'm not in it, no cap.
Verse 13
This whole world is, like, totally brainwashed by these three modes of nature. No cap, they can't even see that I'm the real deal, the one that's always been here and always will be.
Verse 14
No cap, this divine illusion of the Lord, made of these three major energies, is a total mindf*** to escape. Only those who are 100% committed to the Lord can escape this illusion.
Verse 15
No cap, the worst of the worst, the total losers and the brainwashed, they don't even try to find me. Those whose knowledge is totally gone, they're following the demon path.
Verse 16
Yo, Arjuna, four types of righteous peeps worship the Lord: the stressed-out, the knowledge-seekers, the clout-chasers, and the wise ones. It's lit.
Verse 17
Out of everyone, the ones who are, like, always loyal to the One? They're the GOATs. I'm, like, seriously into the wise ones, and they're totally into me.
Verse 18
Okay, so like, all these peeps are fire, but the wise one? That's my ultimate bestie. They're, like, totally focused on me as the supreme goal, no cap.
Verse 19
After, like, a million rebirths, the wise one finally gets that Krishna is, like, *everything*. That person? A total GOAT. Super rare to find.
Verse 20
Those whose minds are totally consumed by this or that desire, end up worshipping other gods, following whatever rituals they vibe with, based on their own nature.
Verse 21
Whatever form a devotee wants to worship with faith, I make that faith of theirs hard and unchanging, no cap.
Verse 22
With that faith, they worship that form and get what they want. It's all me, fam.
Verse 23
No cap, people with small brains get limited rewards. People who worship gods go to those gods, but my devotees? They come to me.
Verse 24
No cap, dummies think the Unmanifest dude, aka me, is, like, *actually* manifested. They don't get my higher, unchangeable, ultimate nature.
Verse 25
I'm not all up in everyone's face, no cap. My Yoga-Maya's got me low-key. This whole world's clueless; they don't know the GOAT, the one who's always been here and will always be.
Verse 26
Yo Arjuna, I know everyone, past, present, and future. But no one knows me.
Verse 27
Yo, Bharata, everyone's born sus, totally brainwashed by this whole good-vs-bad, want-vs-hate thing, Parantapa.
Verse 28
But yo, the people who've, like, totally purged their bad karma and escaped the trap of duality? They're all about worshipping me, no cap.
Verse 29
Yo, anyone tryna escape the death trap and the whole aging thing by hittin' up Krishna? They're gonna achieve ultimate knowledge of the self and master the whole life thing.
Verse 30
Anyone who knows me as the ultimate element, the supreme god, and the sacrifice itself? Yeah, they still know me when they die, no cap. They're totally grounded.
