Sanskrit

महर्षयः सप्त पूर्वे चत्वारो मनवस्तथा। मद्भावा मानसा जाता येषां लोक इमाः प्रजाः।।10.6।।

Transliteration

maharṣhayaḥ sapta pūrve chatvāro manavas tathā mad-bhāvā mānasā jātā yeṣhāṁ loka imāḥ prajāḥ

In plain words

You feel lost, untethered, like you don't know who you are or what you're supposed to become. Krishna says: the same divine intelligence that flows through the great teachers and healers of all time flows through you—right now, exactly as you are. Your confusion isn't a sign you're broken; it's the beginning of recognizing something vast and real moving through your life.

Word by Word

tathā also
mat bhāvāḥ are born from me

Simplified Perspective

Krishna reveals that the seven great sages and four Manus—the architects of cosmic order—are all born from His consciousness, their minds directly reflecting divine intelligence. From them flows all creation, all beings, all the intricate web of life you witness.

This teaches us that behind every wise teacher, every lineage of truth, every authentic spiritual transmission, stands the infinite source—and you too are woven from that same sacred intelligence. In daily life, recognize that wisdom appearing through teachers, nature, and your own intuition is the fingerprint of divinity; approach learning and relationship with reverence.
