For
who, none other Gods regarding, looks Ever to Me, easily am I gained
By such a Yogi; and, attaining Me, They fall not- those Mahatmas-
back to birth, To life, which is the place of pain, which ends, But
take the way of utmost blessedness.
The worlds, Arjuna!- even Brahma's world-
Roll back again from Death to Life's unrest; But they, O Kunti's
Son! that reach to Me, Taste birth no more. If ye know Brahma's Day
Which is a thousand Yugas; if ye know The thousand Yugas
making Brahma's Night, Then know ye Day and Night as He
doth know!
When that vast Dawn doth break, th' Invisible Is brought
anew into the Visible; When that deep Night doth darken, all which
is Fades back again to Him Who sent it forth; Yea! this vast company
of living things- Again and yet again produced- expires At Brahma's
Nightfall; and, at Brahma's Dawn, Rised, without its will, to life
new-born.
