Continuing my Krishna verses:
नाहं कश्चिच्चित्ररूपो न परोक्षो न वाद्भुत: ।
समाहिते तु ते चित्ते मां पश्येस्त्वं यथास्थितम् ।।५१८।।
I am not some strange form, remote or mysterious. With a calm mind, you will see me as I am.
हृदि संवेदना तेऽहं, श्रद्धा तेऽहं, मतिस्तथा ।
चिन्ता तेऽहं, गतिस्तेऽहं, गम्योऽहं न कथं तव ।।५१९।।
I am the sensation in your heart, your faith and your intelligence. I am your thought and your movement. How am I not known to you?
आपद्गतो यदा मित्र मामाह्वयसि ते गिरा ।
न दूरेऽहं समीपस्थस्तवाहमवने रत: ।।५२०।।
Fallen in some difficulty, O friend, when you call me with your words, I am not far away. I am near you and busy protecting you.
तव दु:खानि जानामि सुखानि च सुहृत् सदा ।
व्यतीत्य मां भूतलेऽस्मिन् न दु:खं न च वा सुखम् ।।५२१।।
O friend, I know your sorrows and happiness. In this world, no sorry or happiness transcends me.
