The seven great sages, and the four great sages that came before them, and the original man, and all the living beings who have descended from them, were all born from my will. One who knows this supreme manifestation and splendor of mine, is undoubtedly established in Bhakti Yoga. I am the origin of all, the source from where all things move. Understanding this, the wise revere me with devotion. With their minds focused on me, their lives dedicated to me, and enlightening one another, they live in continual satisfaction. To those who are ever devoted and worship me with love, I grant them that mental disposition which leads them to me. I live in their hearts out of compassion, dispelling the darkness of ignorance with the brilliant lamp of knowledge.
