Bhagavad Gita 7.24-25

Sanskrit

अव्यक्तं व्यक्तिमापन्नं मन्यन्ते मामबुद्धयः । परं भावमजानन्तो ममाव्ययमनुत्तमम् ॥7.24॥नाहं प्रकाशः सर्वस्य योगमायासमावृतः । मूढोऽयं नाभिजानाति लोको मामजमव्ययम् ॥7.25॥

Transliteration

avyaktaṃ vyaktimāpannaṃ manyante māmabuddhayaḥ | paraṃ bhāvamajānanto mamāvyayamanuttamam ‖7.24‖ nāhaṃ prakāśaḥ sarvasya yogamāyāsamāvṛtaḥ | mūḍho'yaṃ nābhijānāti loko māmajamavyayam ‖7.25‖

Meaning

The unintelligent think of Me, the unmanifest, as having come into manifestation, not knowing My higher, immutable, supreme nature. Veiled by My yoga-maya, I am not revealed to all; this deluded world does not recognise Me, the unborn and imperishable.
