GITA-RAHASYA OR KARMA-YOGA
8 अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुमाश्रितम् । परं भावमजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम् ॥ ११ ॥ मोघाशा मोधकर्माणो मोघज्ञाना विचेतसः । राक्षसीमासुरी चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिताः ॥ १२ ॥ SS महात्मानस्तु मां पार्थ देवीं प्रकृतिमाश्रिताः ।

[This is the description of the ungodly person; now the Blessed Lord describes the godly (daivi) nature-]
(13) But, O Partha! those mahātmā-s (that is, noble souls-Trans.), who have taken shelter in a godly nature (prakṛti), realise and recognise (that) Me, Who am the supreme inexhaustible source of all created beings; and believing that there is no one else, worship Me; (14) and being industrious,
