From his personal and absolute body, which always forms three curves, emanates a dazzling radiance that Lord Krishna removes with his unmotivated grace, so that his devotee may see his true, transcendental form. Otherwise, by his inner power, he remains veiled from impersonalists (those who believe that God is solely the formless Supreme Spiritual Being), from unbelievers, and from atheists.

In all circumstances, he is God and remains so. When he comes to earth, he entertains himself like a human being, but always remains God, the Supreme Person.

Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, is the only God and the only living Being that exists. Apart from Him, there is no one else.

The Lord reveals Himself to us.

I know everything that has happened in the past and everything that will happen in the future. I know everything, but no one knows Me.

I am that Supreme Person, who existed before creation, when nothing existed but Myself, and the cause of creation, material nature, had not yet manifested. I am also the One who will remain after annihilation.

Before the creation of this cosmic manifestation (the material cosmos), I alone existed with My own spiritual powers, to the exclusion of all gross, subtle, or causal phenomena. Consciousness had not yet manifested.

After creation, I alone lived in all things, and when the time of annihilation (the end of the world) comes, I alone remain forever.

There is truly nothing that exists outside of Me; this is what you must clearly understand. I am the source of all that Is.

Nothing is separate from My Person. The entire cosmic manifestation rests within Me; it is not separate from My Person. Before creation, I already existed. The entire universe, by a single spark of My Person, I permeate and sustain.

I want you to know this: never, in any place, under any circumstances, can we be separate, for I am present everywhere.

If I teach you this ancient science today, the art of knowing Me, it is because you are My friend and devotee, and thus you can penetrate the sublime mystery. And when you know the truth, you will understand that all beings are an integral part of Me, that they live in Me, and belong to Me.

I am the seed, that is, the fundamental principle of this world of moving and immobile entities. I am the substance of matter, the material cause, and the efficient spiritual cause.
