Bhagavad Gita 7.8
Sanskrit
रसोऽहमप्सु कौन्तेय प्रभास्मि शशिसूर्ययोः। प्रणवः सर्ववेदेषु शब्दः खे पौरुषं नृषु।।7.8।।
Transliteration
raso ’ham apsu kaunteya prabhāsmi śhaśhi-sūryayoḥ praṇavaḥ sarva-vedeṣhu śhabdaḥ khe pauruṣhaṁ nṛiṣhu
In plain words
When you feel empty, forgotten, or like nothing sacred is real anymore—when the world feels like it's all breaking down and you're breaking with it—remember: the life moving through you right now is not separate from the divine. Krishna says the taste that quenches your thirst, the light that lets you see, the strength that rises in you when you need it—all of it is him, woven into the most ordinary moments of your existence. You are not abandoned. You are held in every breath.
Word by Word
Krishna reveals himself as the essence flowing through all creation—the taste in water that quenches, the light in sun and moon that illuminates, the sacred Om vibrating through all knowledge, the vital force animating human strength. This is not metaphor but direct transmission: the divine is not distant but intimately woven into every sensation, every sound, every capability you experience.
When you taste water's sweetness or feel your own vitality rising, you are tasting Krishna himself—and recognizing this transforms how you move through the world, from unconscious consumption to conscious communion.
