Illustration for Bhagavad Gita chapter 10 verse 15
Chapter 10 · Vibhuti Yoga

Divine Mystery · Known Only to Itself

स्वयमेवात्मनाऽऽत्मानं वेत्थ त्वं पुरुषोत्तम । भूतभावन भूतेश देवदेव जगत्पते ॥

svayam evātmanātmānaṁ vettha tvaṁ puruṣottama, bhūtabhāvana bhūteśa devadeva jagatpate.

Meaning

"You alone know Yourself by Yourself, O Supreme Person, O source of beings, O Lord of beings, O God of gods, O Lord of the universe."

Explanation

Some realities are so vast that only they themselves can fully grasp their own depth—we simply bow to that mystery.

Today's Life Lesson

Let go today of needing to fully understand everything—some mysteries deserve reverence, not explanation.
