naham prakasah sarvasya yoga-maya-samavrtah। mudho ’yam nabhijanati loko mam ajam avyayam॥ 7.25 ॥

Sri Krishna said: I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My internal potency, and therefore they do not know that I am unborn and infallible.

vedaham samatitani vartamanani charjuna। bhavisyani cha bhutani mam tu veda na kaschana॥ 7.26 ॥

Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, as the Lord of the universe, 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.

iccha-dvesa-samutthena dvandva-mohena bharata। sarva-bhutani sammoham sarge yanti parantapa॥ 7.27 ॥

Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, all living entities are born into delusion, bewildered by dualities arisen from desire and hate.

yesham tv anta-gatam papam jananam punya-karmanam। te dvandva-moha-nirmukta bhajante mam drdha-vratah॥ 7.28 ॥

Sri Krishna said: human beings who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life and whose sinful actions are completely eradicated are freed from the dualities of delusion, and they engage themselves in My service with determination.

jara-marana-mokshaya mam asritya yatanti ye। te brahma tad viduh krtsnam adhyatmam karma chakhilam॥ 7.29 ॥

Sri Krishna said: Intelligent human beings who are endeavoring for liberation from old age and death take refuge in Me in devotional service. They are actually Brahman because they entirely know everything about transcendental activities.

sadhibhutadhidaivam mam sadhiyajnam cha ye viduh। prayana-kale ’pi cha mam te vidur yukta-cetasah॥ 7.30 ॥

Sri Krishna said: Those in full consciousness of Me, who know Me, the Supreme Lord, to be the governing principle of the material manifestation, of the demigods, and of all methods of sacrifice, can understand and know Me, the Lord of the universe, even at the time of death.
