Verse 9·11

Deluded fools despise the divine form

Verse

अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुमाश्रितम् ।परं भावमजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम् ॥

avajānanti māṃ mūḍhā mānuṣīṃ tanumāśritamparaṃ bhāvamajānanto mama bhūtamaheśvaram

Deluded minds despise me lodged in the human body because they know not my supreme nature of being, Lord of all existences.

Gītā 9·11

He is lodged in the human body. Those who ignore his presence, who despise because of its masks the divinity in the human form, are bewildered and befooled by the appearances of Nature and they cannot realise that there is the secret Godhead within, whether conscious in humanity as in the Avatar or veiled by his Maya.
