Sanskrit

स्वयमेवात्मनाऽत्मानं वेत्थ त्वं पुरुषोत्तम। भूतभावन भूतेश देवदेव जगत्पते।।10.15।।

Transliteration

swayam evātmanātmānaṁ vettha tvaṁ puruṣhottama bhūta-bhāvana bhūteśha deva-deva jagat-pate

In plain words

You're exhausted trying to figure out who you are and whether you're enough—whether God sees you, whether your life means anything. The lesson for you: you are already known, completely and intimately, by the source of all existence. Stop seeking proof that you matter. You already do.

Word by Word

swayam yourself
eva indeed
ātmanā by yourself
ātmānam yourself
vettha know
tvam you
puruṣha-uttama the Supreme Personality
bhūta-bhāvana the Creator of all beings
bhūta-īśha the Lord of everything
deva-deva the God of gods
jagat-pate the Lord of the universe
Simplified Perspective

In this radiant moment, Arjuna recognizes what has always been true: Krishna is not distant from creation but intimately woven through it, known only to himself in his infinite fullness. The Lord needs no external validation—he simply *is* the source, sustainer, and dissolving power of all existence.

When we stop seeking proof of the divine and instead rest in the mystery of consciousness itself, we touch the same self-knowing awareness that moves through all beings.
