Sanskrit
ममैवांशो जीवलोके जीवभूतः सनातनः।मनःषष्ठानीन्द्रियाणि प्रकृतिस्थानि कर्षति।।15.7।।
Transliteration
mamaivānśho jīva-loke jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ manaḥ-ṣhaṣhṭhānīndriyāṇi prakṛiti-sthāni karṣhati
In plain words
You are not your racing thoughts, your compulsions, your anger, your spiraling fear—you are the part of you that *watches* all of it happen. Krishna says: that witnessing presence inside you is eternal and divine, completely untouched by whatever your mind and senses are doing right now. When everything feels out of control, this one truth can steady you: you are not the storm; you are the sky it moves through.
Word by Word
You are not separate from the Divine—you are an eternal fragment of Krishna himself, sent into this world carrying within you the six senses and mind, all struggling against the currents of material nature. This is not punishment but an invitation: to recognize your true nature beyond the body's restless machinery.
In modern life, when you feel trapped by compulsions—social media, anger, desire—remember this truth: you are witnessing these struggles, not defined by them, and that witnessing capacity is your gateway home.
