यतन्तो योगिनश्चैनं पश्यन्त्यात्मन्यवस्थितम् | यतन्तोऽप्यकृतात्मानो नैनं पश्यन्त्यचेतसः
yatanto yoginaścainaṃ paśyantyātmanyavasthitam . yatanto.apyakṛtātmāno nainaṃ paśyantyacetasaḥ
勤奮的「瑜伽士」（Yogis）看見此「自我」（Atman）安住於自身之中。然而，那些缺乏自制、不明辨是非之人，即使努力，也無法看見此「自我」。
And the yogis who are diligent see this one as existing in themselves. The non-discriminating ones who lack self-control do not see this one-though (they be) diligent.
個體靈魂演化的描述至此已告一段落。那些以堅定決心、熾熱意志、信念、誠懇和平衡心智而努力的「瑜伽士」（Yogis），能在他們的心中看見「自我」（Atman）安住。他們在自己的心識或智性中看見祂，並認證：「我即是祂。」然而，那些雖有充分智力，卻缺乏心靈和感官的適當訓練，未經苦行、無私服務和慈善淨化，未曾制伏感官，未曾規律冥想，未曾放棄惡習，未曾根除貪婪、驕傲、我執、憤怒、慾望和虛偽，也未曾發展出辨別真實與虛妄的真知之人，無論他們如何努力透過研讀神聖經典來認識祂，都無法看見祂。他們無法達到「自我實現」（Self-realisation）。僅僅研讀經文，無法幫助心靈不純潔的人達到「自我實現」。求道者應當擁有平靜純潔的心靈，並對「自我」進行持續、持久而深入的冥想。唯有如此，他才能領悟、認識並看見安住於自己內心的「自我」。
The description of the evolution of the individual soul is now complete.The Yogins who strive with an iron determination? fiery resolve? faith? earnestness and wellbalanced mind? see Him established in their hearts. They behold Him dwelling in their own mind or intellect. They recognise Him -- This I am. But those who are of full intellect and without proper discipline of the mind and the senses? who have not been purified by austerity? selfless service and charity? who have not subdued their senses? who have not practised regular meditation? who have not given up their evil ways? who have not eradicated lust? pride? egoism? anger? greed and hypocrisy? who have not developed true discrimination between the Real and the unreal? however hard they may struggle to know Him by means of the study of the sacred scriptures? do not behold Him. They are not able to attain Selfrealisation. Mere study of scriptues alone cannot help one who has an impure mind to attain Selfrealisation. The aspirant should have a calm and pure mind. He should practise constant? protracted and profound meditation on the Self. Only then will he realise? recognise and behold the Self abiding in his own heart.That Goal (the Supreme Being) which the fire? stars? lightning? sun and moon do not illumine? having reached which the aspirants do not return to this Samsara or the world of birth and death? of which the individual souls are only imaginary parts appearing so on account of the limiting adjunct (ignorance)? just as the ether in the pot appears to be limited though it is one with the,universal ether -- is the essence of all worldly experiences.Just as the ether in the pot becomes identical with the universal ether when the limiting adjunct (pot) is broken? so also the individual soul becomes identical with the Supreme Being when the limiting adjunct (ignorance) is destroyed through the knowledge of the Self or Selfrealisation born of meditation on the right significance of the great sentences of the Upanishads? viz.? TatTvamAsi (That thou art) or AhamBrahmaAsmi (I am the Supreme Being). Then he realises that Brahman is the essence of all and tht He is the basis of all experiences.In order to make Arjuna understand this? the Lord gives a brief summary of His manifestations in the following four verses. A description is given here of the allpervasiveness of the Self.
