Jnana Vijnana Yoga--- ( Bhagwad Gita Chapter 7-Union through the path of Knowledge)
The five elements, mind intellect and ego are my eightfold nature
Living beings adorn such in this world
I am the Creator and the Created
The force that sustains
And into me do all dissolve
There is none other
I am the one
Hold together all like
Jewels on a string

I am the essence
In every sense
The radiance of the sun
The brilliance of the moon
The fragrance of the earth
The Life force of all

I am verily the seed of Creation
Great and small

The intellect of the intellectuals
The courage of the courageous
The strength of the strong
The desire of the desirous

Three qualities of satva, Rajas and tamas
Do I enfold
Untouched by them yet
The world is permeated by these

The ignorant brought in their sway
It is indeed difficult to overcome

Yet the one who seeks me
shall reach me
Swimming across

As a thirsty traveler in a desert
Slakes his thirst
Distinguishing the mirage and the oasis
Reaching the oasis

Thus does the seeker reach me
The Ultimate Consciousness

Knowledge of the self, the Eternal Consciousness (Brahman), when imbibed totally results in graceful living driven by need not greed.

There is enough to go around in Existence to satisfy every man’s need but not enough to satisfy one man’s greed

A person with a right understanding of Brahman would live a virtuously life naturally without it being enforced upon him, either by a moral code of an organization or by society. He/she would live in communion with existence naturally, free of internal conflict hence will not create conflict around too!

He does not have to be told he must love his fellow-beings he will love them for that is his very nature. Anything enforced from outside is bound to be transient, when the same emerges from within its eternal.

Braharpanam brahma havir brahmagnau brahmanahutam
Brahmaiva tena gantavyam brahma karma samadhina
4:24
(Brahman is the samskrit word for Consciousness)
The One to which every offering is made is Brahman
The offering is Brahman and the one making the offering too

The fire unto which the offering drops in is Brahman too
There is nothing beyond the Brahman
All ‘actions’ are within the realms of Brahman and rest in Brahman.

There is nothing other than Consciousness
The farmer who tills the land
To give us grain in hand

The grain is an assimilation of five elements
Each of which is Brahman the ultimate Consciousness

The one who cooks the food is Consciousness
The one it is offered to is Consciousness
Every action thus is a worship unto the Consciousness
By the Consciousness of the Consciousness and for the Consciousness
And IN THE Consciousness.

Verily One
This knowledge too is Consciousness
Which turns ‘mundane’ into divine

Mattah parataram nanyat kinchid asti dhananjaya
Mayi sarvam idam proktam sutre mani-gana iva
(chapter7: verse7)

I am the One
There is None
Like Me in every sense
I am the essence
Of all

Jewels on a string
The unseen string
The One unmanifest
That holds together

To know me thus
Is to merge with me
As one without a second

Chaturvarnam maya shristim gunakarma vibhagashah
Tasya kartarmapi mam viddya akartaram avayayam (( chapter4:13)

Four categories did I create
Qualities too
I am the Creator of them
Yet untouched by them
Each plays its part in Creation
None the higher
None the lower

For I am the expression
And the source

VIBHUTI YOGA—Chapter 10
-----

“ I am the poetry in you
the words that flow are me
the breath in you
closer than you think
the long hair you cherish

know me thus
I am the best in each
Know me thus
Divinity in myriad forms

Just one”
To Unite with Me
Know the best in each is Me
Each manifest creation has a sterling quality
Unique and distinct


Divinity in all
The best in all
The best you see in each One
Is me
The foremost in all
The tallest of mountains
The mightiest of rivers
The strongest of winds
The brightest star in the sky

Thus did I divide myself
As One encompassing ALL

Vishwaropa Darshan---- Chapter 11
U N I V E R S E.....and BEYOND
Everything you see is just me
The wide sky, the earth
The sun that shines
The worm that crawls
Your sworn enemy, your best friend
I have neither friend nor foe
Love all
For I am all
Behold this form

I encompass all
Right and wrong
Gross and subtle
Perishable and Imperishable
I am all
The saint and the sinner
There is nothing beyond me
I am the One that encompasses all

The known and the unknown
Beyond all frontiers of perception
Of human imagination
Manifest and Unmanifest
I contain all
None can contain ME
I am the One and none else

To ‘see’ me thus
Simply LOVE me
And just as you love me
Love all
The crawling ant and the tree that stands tall
For they are me
Just as you are
ONE

(This is a very significant chapter in that Krishna reveals the Universal Form. When Arjuna desires to see the Universal form Krishna grants him the divine vision to see this,
He revels not just his gentle four-armed form but reveals that UNI verse encompass every aspect, fearful not so fearful. He gets to see All, not just what he thinks is divine
