Chapter 9, Verse 14

सततं कीर्तयन्तो मां यतन्तश्च दृढव्रताः । नमस्यन्तश्च मां भक्त्या नित्ययुक्ता उपासते ॥

Translation

Always glorifying me, striving with firm resolve, bowing to me with devotion, they worship me with constant discipline.

Explanation

Nothing in this verse describes a single dramatic act — it's entirely made of ongoing, repeated verbs: glorifying, striving, bowing, constantly. Real devotion, in this picture, looks a lot more like consistency than intensity.

Reflect

What small, repeated act of care did you offer today, rather than one dramatic gesture?
