हे अर्जुना, माणसे ज्या प्रकारे माझा आश्रय घेतात, त्याच प्रकारे मी त्यांना अनुग्रह करतो; माणसे सर्व प्रकारे माझ्याच मार्गाचे अनुसरण करतात.
I reward men by bestowing on them the objects they desire in accordance with their ways and the motives with which they seek Me. If anyone worships Me with selfish motives I grant him the objects he desires. If he worships Me unselfishly for attaining knowledge of the Self? I grant him Moksha or final liberation. I am not at all partial to anyone. (Cf. VII.21andIX.23).
