Paired Engagements
यो मामेवमसम्मूढोः जानाति पुरुषोत्तमम् | स सर्वविद्ः भजति मां सर्वभावेन भारत
arjuna uvāca | yo mām evam asammūḍho jānāti puruṣottamam | sa sarvavid bhajati māṁ sarvabhāvena bhārata ||
O Bhārata, whoever, undeluded, knows Me in this way as Puruṣottama—the Supreme Person—such a knower of the whole worships Me with his entire being, in every way.
अजुन उवाच
True, undeluded knowledge of the Lord as Puruṣottama naturally culminates in wholehearted devotion; right understanding is not merely intellectual but becomes total worship and alignment of one’s entire being.
Arjuna speaks, affirming the teaching he has received: the one who comprehends the Lord’s supreme status without confusion becomes ‘sarvavit’ in the essential sense and responds by worshipping the Lord completely.
