Chapter 15 • Verse 14

Purusottama Yoga

The Yoga of the Supreme Person

Sanskrit Verse

Aham vaishvanaro bhutva praninam deham ashritah, pranapana-samayuktah pacamy annam catur-vidham

Translation & Meaning

I am the fire of digestion in every living body, and I am the air of life — outgoing and incoming — by which I digest the four kinds of food. Krishna reveals that even the biological process of digestion is sustained by His divine presence as the digestive fire within all beings, connecting the mundane act of eating to the sacred.

Key Teachings

  • The divine is present in the body as the fire of digestion sustaining physical life
  • Every act of nourishment is ultimately powered by the Supreme Lord's energy
  • The sacred is not separate from the biological — God pervades all bodily functions
