Bhagavad Gita 16.14
Sanskrit
असौ मया हतः शत्रुर्हनिष्ये चापरानपि।ईश्वरोऽहमहं भोगी सिद्धोऽहं बलवान्सुखी।।16.14।।
Transliteration
asau mayā hataḥ śhatrur haniṣhye chāparān api īśhvaro ’ham ahaṁ bhogī siddho ’haṁ balavān sukhī
Word by Word
This verse reveals the asura's fatal delusion: the belief that the separate 'I' is the doer, the owner, the enjoyer—forgetting that all power flows from the Divine alone. The ego that says 'I have destroyed, I will destroy, I am the lord' has already severed itself from Truth and become its own prison.
When we catch ourselves claiming victory as entirely our own, or fearing future loss as entirely our responsibility, we are speaking this same poisoned language—and the cure is to recognize that all action flows through us, not from us.
