Na ca mat-sthani bhutani pashya me yogam aishvaram, bhuta-bhrn na ca bhuta-stho mamatma bhuta-bhavanah
And yet beings do not rest in Me — behold My divine mystery! My Self, which sustains all beings and brings them into existence, does not actually dwell in them. Just as the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, always rests in space, so do all beings rest in Me.
- •God sustains creation without being confined by it
- •The divine is both immanent and transcendent simultaneously
- •Understanding divine mystery requires contemplative perception
Sarvam etad ritam manye yan mam vadasi keshava, na hi te bhagavan vyaktim vidur deva na danavah
O Keshava, I accept as truth everything You have told me. Neither gods nor demons, O Lord, know Your manifestation. Arjuna's complete acceptance of Krishna's teaching marks genuine surrender — he does not require further proof because his heart has been opened by the Lord's wisdom.
- •Genuine acceptance of divine teaching is itself a form of spiritual surrender
- •The Lord's divine nature surpasses the knowledge of both gods and demons
- •Faith rooted in wisdom is stronger than intellectual demand for proof
