Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verse 18

Krishna said

अव्यक्ताद्व्यक्तयः सर्वाः प्रभवन्त्यहरागमे।रात्र्यागमे प्रलीयन्ते तत्रैवाव्यक्तसंज्ञके ॥8.18॥

avyaktādvyaktayaḥ sarvāḥ prabhavantyaharāgamerātryāgame pralīyante tatraivāvyaktasaṃjñake

Meaning

When Brahma's day begins, all manifest things arise from the unmanifest. When his night falls, they dissolve back into that same unmanifest source.

हिंदी में अर्थ

ब्रह्मा का दिन आरंभ होने पर सभी व्यक्त पदार्थ अव्यक्त से प्रकट होते हैं, और रात आने पर वे फिर उसी अव्यक्त में विलीन हो जाते हैं।

Practise it today

Watch something begin and end today, such as a sunrise, a cup of tea going cold or a flower wilting. Let it remind you that every phase of life passes.

Reflect tonight

What did watching something arise and fade teach you about a situation in your own life?
