अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुम् आश्रितम् ॥
परं भावम् अजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम् ॥
मोघाशा मोघकर्माणो मोघज्ञाना विचेतसः ॥
राक्षसीम् आसुरीं चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिताः ॥
महात्मानस् तु मां पार्थ दैवीं प्रकृतिम् आश्रिताः ॥
भजन्त्य् अनन्यमनसो ज्ञात्वा भूतादिम् अव्ययम् ॥
सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश् च दृढव्रताः ॥
नमस्यन्तश् च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते ॥
ज्ञानयज्ञेन चाप्य् अन्ये यजन्तो माम् उपासते ॥
एकत्वेन पृथक्त्वेन बहुधा विश्वतोमुखम् ॥

'Fools disregard Me when I assume a human form, not knowing My higher nature as the great Lord of all beings. Their hopes are vain, their deeds are vain, their knowledge is vain; with bewildered minds they have taken refuge in a deluding, demonic, and asuric nature. But the great souls who have taken refuge in the divine nature, O son of Pritha, worship Me with undivided mind, knowing Me as the imperishable origin of beings. Ever glorifying Me, striving with firm vows, bowing to Me with devotion, ever united with Me, they worship. Others worship Me through the sacrifice of knowledge — as the One, as distinct from all, and as manifold, facing the whole world.'

Krishna's human closeness does not diminish His greatness. The inability to see the Lord in His personal appearance renders knowledge empty, while the divine nature reveals itself as undivided service, glorification, and worship.
