Few understand my transcendent nature

Verse

इच्छाद्वेषसमुत्थेन द्वन्द्वमोहेन भारत ।सर्वभूतानि सम्मोहं सर्गे यान्ति परन्तप ॥

icchādveṣasamutthena dvandvamohena bhāratasarvabhūtāni sammohaṃ sarge yānti parantapa

By the delusion of the dualities which arises from wish and disliking, O Bharata, all existences in the creation are led into bewilderment.

Gītā 7·27

That is the ignorance, the egoism which fails to see and lay hold on the Divine everywhere, because it sees only the dualities of Nature and is constantly occupied with its own separate personality and its seekings and shrinkings.
