Arjuna said:
This magic spell of mine which is divine and full of supreme qualities cannot be overcome. However, those who take refuge in me can cross this difficult spell. (SUPER AWARENESS 14).
Those humans who are knave, fools, lowest of the humans, those having a knowledge deprieved by delusion, those who have a demoniacal nature, do not take shelter in me. (SUPER AWARENESS 15).
Four types of people carrying good deeds from their previous births, serve and worship me. 1. Desperate devotees in a miserable state 2. Seekers of Knowledge of Supreme Spirit 3. Seekers of wealth and luxuries; 4. Devotees who already have an awareness of my Nature. (SUPER AWARENESS 16).
Among the four, the Knowledgeable Devotee who is in Union with me (UP-UMP) and the philosophical person is very dear to me. Because I am dearer to him, he is dearer to me. (SUPER AWARENESS 17).
All the four types are great, but the Knowledgeable Devotee is a form in harmony with me. This is my will. This is because, the person will have his mind focused to me and take refuge in me as the best resort. (SUPER AWARENESS 18).
After several births, a person who becomes knowledgeable and is aware that the entire Universe is full of Vaasudeeva (Me) takes refuge in me. Such great souls are difficult to get. (SUPER AWARENESS 19).
Those persons whose knowledge is overtaken by desires, worship other Gods following the rules applicable for praying such Gods who are accessible to such persons by their very nature. (SUPER AWARENESS 20).
Whomsoever God such person prefers to worship, such God is only an attribute of me. Hence as I am presresent in them also, I generate faith and interest in such person to worship the Gods of their choice. (SUPER AWARENESS 21).
That person sincerely worshiping such Gods, gets his desires fulfilled by such God, as appropriately decided by me. (SUPER AWARENESS 22). (Comment: Krishna claims to be the ultimate bestower of boons, even if people worship other Gods. )
At the end, the results the worshippers of other Gods get are not everlasting. Worshippers of sundry Gods are getting Sundry Gods only. My worshippers attain Me. (SUPER AWARENESS 23). (Comment: Krishna is speaking like an ordinary shop-keeper who claims that the goods sold by him are of superior and durable quality when compared to those offered by other sellers.
Though I am the greatest, supreme, infinite and indestructible, and super-natural person, ignorant and unwise persons cannot understand my grandeur and view me only as a person bearing the mundane mortal human bodies. (SUPER AWARENESS 24).
As I hide myself in a mask of "Spell of Union", this foolish and ignorant humanity cannot recognise me who has no birth and death. (SUPER AWARENESS 25).
I know the past, present and future Creatures. But Nobody else can recognise me. (SUPER AWARENESS 26).
In this Nature (Universe) all the Creatures get tempted by dualities of likes and dislikes, joys and sorrows. (SUPER AWARENESS 27).
The sins of the people who perform pieties get destroyed. They will be freed from the dualities (likes and dislikes, joys and sorrows). They will be serving me with determination. (SUPER AWARENESS 29).
Those who identify me with the Supreme Creature, Supreme God, Supreme Sacrifice place their mind settled in me. Even at the time of death, they realise me. At any stage, they do not get deluded. (SUPER AWARENESS 30).
