Word by Word
Krishna reveals here a profound truth: the Divine receives all sincere worship, regardless of the deity's name or form. When devotion flows from a true heart—even if directed toward a lesser god—it ultimately reaches the Supreme Self, because all worship originates in the one consciousness.
In our modern spiritual search, this teaches us that sincerity of intention matters far more than external correctness; what counts is whether your heart is genuinely awakened and turned toward the sacred.
