Humility · Trusting Forces Beyond Control

ॐ

प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः । भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात् ॥

prakṛtiṁ svām avaṣṭabhya visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ, bhūtagrāmam imaṁ kṛtsnam avaśaṁ prakṛter vaśāt.

Meaning

"Resting upon My own nature, I send forth again and again this entire multitude of beings, who are helpless, under the control of nature."

Explanation

Recognizing how much of life unfolds through larger forces beyond our full control invites both humility and trust.

Today's Life Lesson

When today's outcomes feel out of your hands, soften into trust rather than forcing control.
