Non-violence, equanimity, contentment, austerity, charity, fame, and infamy — all the various states of beings arise from Me alone. The catalogue of divine vibhutis continues, encompassing both celebrated and inglorious conditions, all arising from the one infinite source.

  • Non-violence and equanimity are divine qualities to be cultivated
  • Even fame and infamy are expressions of the Supreme's all-encompassing energy
  • Contentment and austerity are manifestations of divine grace in life
