Word by Word
Krishna reveals the ultimate truth: no amount of scriptural study, austerity, charity, or ritual worship can unveil His divine form—only by His grace does the veil lift. This is the paradox that shatters all spiritual ego: you cannot earn what is already yours to receive.
In our striving age, this verse invites us to release the grip of self-improvement and surrender to the living presence that moves through us already.
