Krishna concludes this sequence by explaining exactly why the Absolute remains hidden from the masses. He declares: I am not manifest, visible, or revealed (nāhaṃ prakāśaḥ) to absolutely everyone (sarvasya). Why? Because I am perfectly concealed, veiled, and covered (samāvṛtaḥ) by My own divine, mystic potency and illusion (yoga-māyā). Because of this impenetrable veil, this bewildered, foolish world (mūḍho 'yaṃ loko) completely fails to recognize or comprehend Me (nābhijānāti mām) as the One who is fundamentally unborn (ajam) and eternally inexhaustible (avyayam).
