Same theme, different voices
One who truly knows in essence this divine nature of My birth and action — on leaving the body, is not reborn, but comes to Me, O Arjuna.
Only knowledge of God can grant immortality.
Whoever is ignorant of himself is yet more ignorant of other things; and inasmuch as a man is bound to know God, he must first know himself, in order that by rightly perceiving his own temporality he may recognize the eternity of God.
In this way, gradually and quickly, divine calm and peace will be infused into your soul, along with a wonderful and sublime knowledge of God, wrapped in divine love.
