Verse 20
The Yoga of Knowledge and Realization
Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures.
Context & Meaning
When desire clouds the mind, seekers turn to lesser powers — demigods who can grant specific boons. They are not wrong to seek, but they are seeking in proportion to their desire. What you seek determines who you approach. The one who seeks the Absolute alone turns to the Absolute.
