devotional Jnana & Wisdom

Sanskrit

विस्तरेणात्मनो योगं विभूतिं च जनार्दन। भूयः कथय तृप्तिर्हि श्रृण्वतो नास्ति मेऽमृतम्।।10.18।।

Transliteration

vistareṇātmano yogaṁ vibhūtiṁ cha janārdana bhūyaḥ kathaya tṛiptir hi śhṛiṇvato nāsti me ’mṛitam

In plain words

You've heard the teaching before, yet you still feel lost and afraid—and you wonder if knowing the truth is even enough. The lesson for you: the divine wisdom you're seeking never runs dry, and each time you return to it, you discover new strength you didn't see before. Your capacity to receive healing grows every time you come back, even when it feels like nothing is changing.

Simplified Perspective

Arjuna's thirst here reveals the deepest truth: the nectar of divine knowledge never becomes stale, never loses its sweetness no matter how many times we drink from it. Each revelation of Krishna's glory opens new chambers in consciousness, each teaching illuminates dimensions we hadn't yet perceived.

When you encounter a truth that sets your soul alive—whether in scripture, in nature, or in another's wisdom—return to it again and again, for the infinite has infinite facets, and your capacity to receive grows with each encounter.
