Whatever beings are there—whether they are of the Sattva, Rajas, or Tamas strands—be sure that they are from Me; I am not in them, but they are within Me.
Whatever be the nature of their life, whether it be pure or passionate or ignorant, they are all derived from Me. They are in Me, but I am not in them.
Know that all those states of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas are from Me alone. But I am not in them; they are in Me.
Those things that indeed are made of (the quality of ) sattva, and those things that are made of (the quality of) rajas and tamas, know them to have sprung from Me alone. However, I am not in them; they are in Me!
Whatever being (and objects) that are pure, active and inert, know that they proceed from Me. They are in Me, yet I am not in them.

This is My divine play, composed of the strands of illusion, and it is hard to cross over. Those who take refuge in Me alone, they cross over the illusion.
Verily, this Divine Illusion of Phenomenon manifesting itself in the Qualities is difficult to surmount. Only they who devote themselves to Me and to Me alone can accomplish it.
(a) For this divine Maya or Mine consisting of the three Gunas (assumed for purposes of sport) is hard to overcome৷৷.
Since this divine Maya of Mine which is constituted by the gunas is difficult to cross over, (therefore) those who take refuge in Me alone cross over this Maya.
Verily this divine illusion of Mine made up of the qualities (of Nature) is difficult to cross over; those who take refuge in Me alone cross over this illusion.

Being deluded by these three strands of nature, this entire world does not recognize Me, who am eternal and transcend these strands.
The inhabitants of the world, misled by those natures which the Qualities have engendered, know not that I am higher than them all, and that I do not change.
The entire universe is deluded by these three states originating from the Gunas (of Prakrti), and fails to recognise Me, who am beyond them and immutable.
All this world, deluded as it is by these three things made of the gunas (qualities), does not know Me who am transcendental to these and undecaying.
Deluded by these Natures (states or things) composed of the three qualities of Nature, all this world does not know Me as distinct from them and immutable.
