Sārathi
  1. 7.24

    अव्यक्तं व्यक्ितमापन्नं मन्यन्ते मामबुद्धयः।
    परं भावमजानन्तो ममाव्ययमनुत्तमम् ॥

    avyaktaṁ vyaktim āpannaṁ manyante mām abuddhayaḥ
    paraṁ bhāvam ajānanto mamāvyayam anuttamam

    The foolish think of Me, the Unmanifest, as having manifestation, not knowing My higher, immutable, and most excellent nature.
  2. 7.25

    नाहं प्रकाशः सर्वस्य योगमायासमावृतः।
    मूढोऽयं नाभिजानाति लोको मामजमव्ययम् ॥

    nāhaṁ prakāśhaḥ sarvasya yoga-māyā-samāvṛitaḥ
    mūḍho ’yaṁ nābhijānāti loko mām ajam avyayam

    I am not manifest to all, veiled as I am by the Yoga-Maya. This deluded world does not know Me, who am unborn and imperishable.
  3. 7.3

    मनुष्याणां सहस्रेषु कश्िचद्यतति सिद्धये।
    यततामपि सिद्धानां कश्िचन्मां वेत्ति तत्त्वतः ॥

    manuṣhyāṇāṁ sahasreṣhu kaśhchid yatati siddhaye
    yatatām api siddhānāṁ kaśhchin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ

    Among thousands of men, one may perchance strive for perfection; even among those successful strivers, only one may perchance know Me in essence.
  4. 7.17

    तेषां ज्ञानी नित्ययुक्त एकभक्ितर्विशिष्यते।
    प्रियो हि ज्ञानिनोऽत्यर्थमहं स च मम प्रियः ॥

    teṣhāṁ jñānī nitya-yukta eka-bhaktir viśhiṣhyate
    priyo hi jñānino ’tyartham ahaṁ sa cha mama priyaḥ

    Of them, the wise who are ever steadfast and devoted to the One, excel; for I am exceedingly dear to the wise, and they are dear to Me.
  5. 7.18

    उदाराः सर्व एवैते ज्ञानी त्वात्मैव मे मतम्।
    आस्थितः स हि युक्तात्मा मामेवानुत्तमां गतिम् ॥

    udārāḥ sarva evaite jñānī tvātmaiva me matam
    āsthitaḥ sa hi yuktātmā mām evānuttamāṁ gatim

    Indeed, all these are noble; however, I consider the wise man as My very Self; for, he is steadfast in mind and established in Me alone as the supreme goal.
  6. 7.19

    बहूनां जन्मनामन्ते ज्ञानवान्मां प्रपद्यते।
    वासुदेवः सर्वमिति स महात्मा सुदुर्लभः ॥

    bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate
    vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā su-durlabhaḥ

    At the end of many births, the wise man comes to Me, realizing that all this is Vaasudeva (the innermost Self); such a great soul (Mahatma) is very hard to find.
