^175:24 The ignorant take Me as an ordinary mortal, assuming embodiment from the unmanifested state, like all other men, being impelled by the force of past Karma. This is due to their ignorance of My real nature; hence they do not worship Me, the One without a second.

^176:25 This Yoga-Maya spread over the Lord, which veils the understanding of others in recognising Him, does not obscure His own knowledge, as it is His, and He is the wielder of it,--just as the glamour (Maya) caused by a juggler (Mayavin) does not obstruct his own knowledge. This illusion which binds others, cannot dim His vision.

^177:27 To one whose mind is subject to the dualistic delusion, caused by the passions of desire and aversion, there cannot indeed arise a knowledge of things as they are, even of the external world; far less can such an intellect grasp the transcendental knowledge of the innermost Self.

^178:29 (They know) the whole of Adhyatma: They realise in full the Reality underlying the innermost individual Self.

^178:30 Their consciousness of Me continues as ever, unaffected by the change of approaching death.
