In plain words
You're exhausted from chasing what you think will fix you—the perfect relationship, the right job, the healed body, the answer that will finally make sense. Krishna says: stop looking for fullness in those things, because the Divine isn't hiding in them as a reward. The presence you're desperate to feel is already woven into every situation you're in right now, even the ones that terrify you. When you stop demanding that life be different before you can feel held, you begin to notice you already are.
Word by Word
Krishna reveals that He pervades all creation not as distant deity but as the animating principle within each category of existence—the thunderbolt's power, the wish-fulfilling cow's abundance, the god of love's creative force, the serpent king's sovereignty. This is not metaphor but direct statement of nondual reality: the Divine is not separate from creation but its very essence and intelligence.
When you recognize this truth, you stop seeking fulfillment from objects and begin to see the Divine hand in every situation, transforming how you relate to desire, power, and the world itself.
