Verse 7·25

I am hidden by the veil of illusion

Verse

नाहं प्रकाशः सर्वस्य योगमायासमावृतः ।मूढोऽयं नाभिजानाति लोको मामजमव्ययम् ॥

nāhaṃ prakāśaḥ sarvasya yogamāyāsamāvṛtaḥmūḍho’yaṃ nābhijānāti loko māmajamavyayam

Nor am I revealed to all, enveloped in my Yoga-maya; this bewildered world knows Me not, the unborn, the imperishable.

Gītā 7·25

He is self-enveloped in this immense cloak of Maya, that Maya of his Yoga, by which he is one with the world and yet beyond it, immanent but hidden, seated in all hearts but not revealed to any and every being. Man in Nature thinks that these manifestations in Nature are all the Divine, when they are only his works and his powers and his veils.
