== Bhagavad-gita As It Is ==

=== BG Chapters 7 - 12 ===

<span class="BG-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:BG 10.32|BG 10.32, Translation]]: Of all creations I am the beginning and the end and also the middle, O Arjuna. Of all sciences I am the spiritual science of the self, and among logicians I am the conclusive truth.'''</span>

== Srimad-Bhagavatam ==

=== SB Cantos 10.14 to 12 (Translations Only) ===

<span class="SB-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:SB 10.87.21|SB 10.87.21, Translation]]: My Lord, some fortunate souls have gotten relief from the fatigue of material life by diving into the vast nectar ocean of Your pastimes, which You enact when You manifest Your personal forms to propagate the unfathomable science of the self. These rare souls, indifferent even to liberation, renounce the happiness of home and family because of their association with devotees who are like flocks of swans enjoying at the lotus of Your feet.'''</span>

<span class="SB-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:SB 10.87.44|SB 10.87.44, Translation]]: And as you wander the earth at will, My dear son of Brahmā, you should faithfully meditate on these instructions concerning the science of the Self, which burn up the material desires of all men.'''</span>

<span class="SB-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:SB 11.5.1|SB 11.5.1, Translation]]: King Nimi further inquired: My dear Yogendras, all of you are most perfect in knowledge of the science of the self. Therefore, kindly explain to me the destination of those who for the most part never worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, who are unable to quench their material desires and who are not in control of their own selves.'''</span>

<span class="SB-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:SB 11.7.33-35|SB 11.7.33-35, Translation]]: O King, I have taken shelter of twenty-four gurus, who are the following: the earth, air, sky, water, fire, moon, sun, pigeon and python; the sea, moth, honeybee, elephant and honey thief; the deer, the fish, the prostitute Piṅgalā, the kurara bird and the child; and the young girl, arrow maker, serpent, spider and wasp. My dear King, by studying their activities I have learned the science of the self.'''</span>

<span class="SB-statistics">'''[[Vanisource:SB 12.12.42-43|SB 12.12.42-43, Translation]]: How the Lord withdrew His own dynasty on the pretext of the brāhmaṇas' curse; Vasudeva's conversation with Nārada; the extraordinary conversation between Uddhava and Kṛṣṇa, which reveals the science of the self in complete detail and elucidates the religious principles of human society; and then how Lord Kṛṣṇa gave up this mortal world by His own mystic power—the Bhāgavatam narrates all these events.'''</span>
