If he worships one form alone with real faith, then shall his desires be fulfilled through that only; for thus have I ordained.

Those of poor intellect are not aware of My higher, unchanging, and supreme nature; and thus, they consider Me, the Unmanifest, to be manifest.
The ignorant think of Me, who am the Unmanifested Spirit, as if I were really in human form. They do not understand that My Superior Nature is changeless and most excellent.
Not knowing My higher nature, immutable and unsurpassed, the ignorant think of Me as an unmanifest entity who has now become manifest.
The unintelligent, unaware of My supreme state which is immutable and unsurpassable, think of Me as the unmanifest that has become manifest.
The foolish think of Me, the Unmanifest, as having manifestation, knowing not My higher, immutable and most excellent nature.

But the fruit of those of poor intellect is finite; those who perform sacrifices aiming at the gods go to the gods, and My devotees come to Me.
The fruit that comes to men of limited insight is, after all, finite. They who worship the Lower Powers attain them; but those who worship Me come unto Me alone.
But limited is the fruit gained by these men of small understanding. The worshippers of the gods will go to the gods but My devotees will come to Me.
That result of theirs who are of poor intellect is indeed limited. The worshippers of gods go to the gods. My devotees go to Me alone.
Verily the reward (fruit) that accrues to those men of small intelligence is finite. The worshippers of the gods go to them, but My devotees come to Me.
