No one's friend, no one's foe

 Look for me beyond what is visible O Arjuna!

Many people in their ignorance and superficial vision see me as worldly- but I am not worldly. Because of their tendency to get enchanted by Maya, they assume my birth and death, but I am beyond the ideas of birth and death. They assume my form, my name, my actions, and my various attributes whence I remain formless, actionless, and beyond any attributes. They make my idols and adorn me with many ornaments. They assume me as a friend and as a foe to some, also think of me as belonging to one region (or country) whereas I remain omnipresent and indifferent to all these ideas. They worship me in the idol thinking I remain in that and discard it when it is broken- thinking I am no more in that. Like that they think of me as a worldly being. All these dead ideas of the dead world are like those clouds that appear in the sky before the season of rain and disappear like that only. Such people are consumed all by their ignorance and are lost as their sense of right and wrong gets distorted and they keep on worrying about worldly things.

On the contrary there are those noblemen who know me in their pious hearts. And I live in their hearts like a hermit. Their strong desire for oneness with me allows them to remain detached and are always adorned with righteousness, patience and can sense my omnipresent nature. They bow down to everyone without judging as all they see in the world is me. They remain unaffected by the satisfaction of ego or hurt. I remain present in their remembrance, chants, or devotion for me. All the pilgrimages lose their meaning in front of them, and they are the ones who are capable of giving enlightenment to others without teaching ‘yoga marg’- but just by dropping their sight on them.
