1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 9 - Rajavidya Rajaguhya Yoga - Sloka 13
Mahatmanah tu mam partha daivim prakritim ashritah I
Bhajanti ananya manasah jnyatva bhutadim avyayam II sloka 13
महात्मानः तु मां पार्थ दैवीं प्रकृतिं आश्रितः I
भजन्ति अनन्य मनसः ज्ञात्वा भूतादिं अव्ययं I I श्लोक 13
But the mahatmans, O Partha, partaking of the divine nature, worship me with a single mind, knowing me as the immutable and the source of all beings.
Daivi prakriti is the divine nature whoch runs counter to the delusive nature mentioned in the previous stanza . This is born of sattva guna. Beings have all come from paramatman. Those who know this fact and strive to go back to paramatman are the mahatmans, the great souled ones. Self control, love of beings, commending themselves to God - noble traits like these are evident in them.
