Chapter 18, Verse 61

ईश्वरः सर्वभूतानां हृद्देशेऽर्जुन तिष्ठति । भ्रामयन्सर्वभूतानि यन्त्रारूढानि मायया ॥

Translation

The divine dwells in the heart of every being, Arjuna, guiding them through the workings of a world that turns like a great mechanism.

Explanation

Reflect

Where in today's routine did you sense something steady beneath the mechanical busyness?
