Divine Mystery · Sustaining Without Attachment

ॐ

न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् । भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः ॥

na ca matsthāni bhūtāni paśya me yogam aiśvaram, bhūtabhṛn na ca bhūtastho mamātmā bhūtabhāvanaḥ.

Meaning

"Nor do beings truly dwell in Me—behold My divine mystery; even as the sustainer of beings, My Self does not dwell in them, though I bring them into being."

Explanation

Some truths defy simple logic—the divine can sustain everything while remaining untouched and unbound by any of it.

Today's Life Lesson

Try supporting someone today without needing to hold onto or control the outcome—give freely, like this.
