1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 10 - Vibhuti Yoga - Sloka 14

Sarvam etat trutam manye yanmam vadasi keshava I

Na hi te bhagavan vyaktim viduh devah na danavah II sloka 14

सर्वं एतत् त्रुतं मन्ये यन्मां वदसि केशव I
न हि ते भगवन् व्यक्तिं विदुः देवः न दानवः II श्लोक 14

I hold as true, all that you say to me, O Kesava. Neither the devas nor the danavas, O lord, know verily your manifestation.

Bhagavan is he who fully manifests six divine qualities which are: bala, omnipotence; dharma, righteousness; aiswarya, lordship; sri wealth and beauty; jnana wisdom; vairagya dispassion. Further he knows the past, present and future of beings. His manifestation in the human form remains unknown to the devas themselves; how then shall the danavas or asuras come to know of his interests and extents?

The sun is immensely greater than the earth: but because of the distance it appears as a small disk. In this wise Iswara's attributes are infinite; but we know very little of him because of our ignorance
