Rāja-Vidyā Rāja-Guhya Yoga (राजविद्या राजगुह्य योग) — The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret

Devanagari script

सम्बन्ध-- जब भगवान्‌ इतने प्रेमी और दयासागर हैं कि जिस-किसी प्रकारसे भी भजनेवालेको अपने स्वरूपकी प्राप्ति करा ही देते हैं. तो फिर सभी लोग उनको क्यों नहीं भजते, इस जिज्ञासापर कहते हैं अव्यक्तं व्यक्तिमापन्नं मन्यन्ते मामबुद्धय: । परं भावमजानन्तो ममाव्ययमनुत्तमम्‌

Translation

If the Lord is so loving and an ocean of compassion that, in whatever way one worships Him, He surely grants attainment of His own true nature—why then do all people not worship Him? To this He says: “The unwise think that I, the Unmanifest, have become manifest; for they do not know My supreme, imperishable, unsurpassed reality.”
