Commentary
Persons who are deluded by the three qualities of Nature do not know the Lord. As they lack in the knowledge of His real nature; they do not adore Hi. But the Lord knows through His omniscience the beings of the past; the present and the future. He who worships the Lord with singleminded devotion knows Him in essence. He has knowledge of His real nature.
