In plain words
You are trying so hard to see the way forward, to understand what you're meant to do, to fix what feels broken—and the effort itself is blocking the sight. Krishna says: the infinite is veiled not to punish you, but because you're not yet ready to see it clearly through the fog of your own fear and grasping. Stop demanding answers. Surrender the need to see everything, and watch what becomes visible in the quiet.
Word by Word
Krishna reveals a profound paradox: the infinite Self cannot be known through ordinary perception because divine Maya—God's creative energy—veils the truth from those trapped in delusion. The Lord is eternally unborn and unchanging, yet hidden from the deluded mind by the very power that sustains creation.
This is not punishment but mercy—the veil protects us until we are ready to see. When you encounter mystery in life, ask yourself: am I looking with the eyes of ego, or with the eyes of surrender?
