Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 11, Verse 37

Arjuna said
कस्माच्च ते न नमेरन्महात्मन् गरीयसे ब्रह्मणोऽप्यादिकर्त्रे।अनन्त देवेश जगन्निवास त्वमक्षरं सदसत्तत्परं यत् ॥11.37॥

kasmācca te na nameranmahātman garīyase brahmaṇo'pyādikartreananta deveśa jagannivāsa tvamakṣaraṃ sadasattatparaṃ yat

Meaning

Arjuna says: And why should they not bow to you, great one, greater even than Brahma, the first creator? Infinite Lord of gods, home of the world, you are the imperishable: what is, what is not, and what lies beyond both.

हिंदी में अर्थ

अर्जुन कहते हैं: हे महात्मन, वे आपको नमस्कार क्यों न करें, जो ब्रह्मा से भी बड़े और आदि कर्ता हैं? हे अनंत, हे देवेश, हे जगन्निवास, आप ही अक्षर हैं: जो है, जो नहीं है, और जो इन दोनों से परे है।

Practise it today

Bow your head once today, at home, at a temple or simply in your mind, to whatever you hold highest, and let go of one small piece of pride.

Reflect tonight

When did you bow today, and what pride did you let go of? Did you feel lighter?
