In #Chapter 7, Shri Krishna tells #Arjuna that he will explain how one can know him (#God) by practicing non-attachment. Krishna focuses now on imparting to Arjuna that he (God) is the fundamental essence of the #universe and that his current form is just an earthly incarnation. Most people cannot understand that he is the essence in all things. Ignorant people are caught up in Krishna's power. #Krishna divides those who #worship him into four types: the person in distress, the power-seeker, the wisdom-seeker, and the sage. The sage is the type that already has achieved serenity of mind through #yoga and #meditation and understands the nature of God and Self. People who understand the nature of God also "know absolute freedom, / and the Self, and the nature of action."
