Meaning

The Lord dwells in the heart of all beings, Arjuna, moving them all by his power of maya (cosmic illusion), as if they were mounted on a machine.

हिंदी में अर्थ

हे अर्जुन, ईश्वर सभी प्राणियों के हृदय में रहता है और अपनी माया (दिव्य शक्ति) से सभी को ऐसे घुमाता है जैसे वे किसी यंत्र पर चढ़े हों।

Practise it today

Reflect tonight

Did seeing the divine in a difficult person change your response today?
