There are four kinds of people who worship me - the pious, the seekers of knowledge, the seekers of material gain, and the wise.

[16]

Of all these, the wise, ever steadfast in devotion, are most dear to me - and I am most dear to them.

[17]

All four are of noble mind, but those who are wise are a reflection of myself - steadfast in mind, with me as the ultimate goal.

[18]

After many lives, the wise one realizes that "all is God" and surrenders to me. Such a soul is very rare.

[19]

Those whose wisdom has been carried away by material desires, worship other Gods and practice whatever rites they prefer.

[20]

Whatever the form of worship, if the worshipper does so with faith, then I bestow steady faith upon them.

[21]

Endowed with that faith, their desire in worship will certainly be granted.
