The Blessed Lord declared:
I exist in the hearts of all beings O Arjuna, It is because of Myself that a being’s memory and wisdom exists, otherwise without Me, both memory and wisdom are lost. I am undoubtedly the author of the Vedas as well as he who is knowledgeable about all the Vedas. You must also recognize Me O Arjuna, as the Author of the Vedanta (the end of the Vedas).
(The Lord is the knower of all things that lie in the realm of this universe which are represented by the Vedas as well as all things that lie beyond the realm of this universe which are represented by the Vedanta.)
मैं ही सब प्राणियों के ह्रदय में अन्तर्यामी रूप से स्थित हूँ तथा मुझ से ही स्मृति, ज्ञान और अपोहन होता है और सब वेदों द्वारा मैं ही जानने के योग्य हूँ तथा वेदान्त का कर्ता और वेदों को जानने वाला भी मैं ही हूँ ।। १५ ।।
अध्याय – 18 – श्लोक -71
He who only listen to this conversation, has faith in Me, is detached from sinful activities and has no doubt concerning Me or the divine words I utter, also attains blissful freedom from this world and in the end resides among only the pious and holy men.
जो मनुष्य श्रद्धा युक्त्त और दोष दृष्टि से रहित होकर इस गीता शास्त्र का श्रवण भी करेगा, वह भी पापों से मुक्त्त होकर उत्तम कर्म करने वालों के श्रेष्ठ लोकों को प्राप्त होगा ।। ७१ ।।
