Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 7 verse 25

 Chapter 7 verse 25 

I am not manifest to everyone, being veiled by my divine Yogamaya energy. Hence, those without knowledge do not know that I am without birth and changeless.” 

Earlier in this chapter, Krishna talks about two of his infinite energy fields-material energy and spiritual energy. In this verse, he talks about his third major form of energy-energy of yogamaya. This is the same energy which veils through his maya, the fact that He is Supreme Divine and through that same energy he reveals his Supreme form for the beings who surrender to Him. How many of the beings when Krishna took his avatar on earth knew that He was Divine personified. He has the will to exhibit His Divine form or not show it. Uddhava had the devotion towards Krishna and attributed Divinity to Him whereas Duryodhana thought of his as only a mortal cousin. This realization of the avatar also requires abundant Grace. Prayers are the only way to dwell in His thoughts at all times.
