Transliteration
śhrī bhagavān uvācha akṣharaṁ brahma paramaṁ svabhāvo ’dhyātmam uchyate bhūta-bhāvodbhava-karo visargaḥ karma-sanjñitaḥ
Word by Word
Krishna reveals the three pillars of existence: the eternal, unchanging Brahman that pervades all; the individual self (adhyatma) that recognizes itself within this vastness; and karma—the creative force that births all beings and worlds. This is not abstract philosophy but the living reality you inhabit right now: you are simultaneously the eternal witness, the unique person, and the creative force shaping your own becoming.
When you understand these three as one seamless reality, the false separation between 'spiritual' and 'everyday' dissolves, and every action becomes an expression of the divine.
