Bhagavad Gita 7.5
Sanskrit
अपरेयमितस्त्वन्यां प्रकृतिं विद्धि मे पराम्। जीवभूतां महाबाहो ययेदं धार्यते जगत्।।7.5।।
Transliteration
apareyam itas tvanyāṁ prakṛitiṁ viddhi me parām jīva-bhūtāṁ mahā-bāho yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat
Word by Word
Krishna reveals here the profound mystery of existence: the material world we perceive is only His inferior energy, a temporary play of forces. Beyond this dance of matter lives His superior energy—the conscious beings themselves, the eternal souls who animate and sustain all creation.
This is not mere philosophy but the recognition that you are not the body or the world, but the sacred life-force that witnesses and moves through both. When you realize this distinction in your daily struggles—that you are the eternal witness, not the temporary circumstance—you step into freedom.
