4.31.18
tenaikam ātmānam aśeṣa-dehināṃ kālaṃ pradhānaṃ puruṣaṃ pareśam /
sva-tejasā dhvasta-guṇa-pravāham ātmaika-bhāvena bhajadhvam addhā //
18. *Therefore* (1) (Sri) — being the cause of all (2) V. because the grossness or subtlety is but a temporary state.
*As one with you.* D. as the one who is Atman in the most comprehensive sense; that is, conclusively knowing Hari to be the as one with you—Hari who is one Atman of all embodied existences, who is time, the material cause, the efficient cause, the supreme Ruler and who by His own power has ever distanced from Himself, the current of the three qualities (is ever unaffected by the gunas.)
[D. Do you worship Him with the distinct understanding that through His grace His devotees eschew the various thoughts not implying their dependence on Him, that there is no second thing equal unto Him, that the direct realisation of the Lord is possible for those who cease to deny the five-fold difference existing between all real things, who has no beginning, middle or end, who is ever blissful and who is pure, supreme Intelligence.]
[V. Do you worship Him who is untouched by the thoughts pertaining to the mind, a product of Prakriti, as well as by the feelings of pleasure and pain, likes and dislikes, who has no equal or superior, who is cognisable by those that are rid of mistakes regarding the Atman, the body etc.]
