Rāja-Vidyā Rāja-Guhya Yoga (राजविद्या राजगुह्य योग) — The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret
हे अर्जुन! तू ऐसा समझ कि सम्पूर्ण भूत इन दोनों प्रकृतियोंसे ही उत्पन्न होनेवाले हैं* और मैं सम्पूर्ण जगत्का प्रभव तथा प्रलय हूँ अर्थात् सम्पूर्ण जगत्का मूल कारण हूँ? ।।
mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya | mayi sarvam idaṁ protaṁ sūtre maṇigaṇā iva ||
阿周那啊,当知一切众生皆由此二自性而生;而我既是整个世界的发生之源,亦是其归灭之处。檀那阇耶啊,除我之外别无更高者。此一切世界系于我,如众珠贯穿于一线。

This supports a devotional and ethically steady life—acting in one’s duty while recognizing the single sustaining source behind all phenomena.
