Sanskrit
यान्ति देवव्रता देवान् पितृ़न्यान्ति पितृव्रताः। भूतानि यान्ति भूतेज्या यान्ति मद्याजिनोऽपि माम्।।9.25।।
Transliteration
yānti deva-vratā devān pitṝīn yānti pitṛi-vratāḥ bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā yānti mad-yājino ’pi mām
In plain words
You are being shaped right now—by what you pay attention to, what you honor, what you let consume your thoughts. If you are spiraling in anxiety, if you are feeding anger or despair or fear, you are literally becoming that. Krishna says: turn your gaze inward, toward what is whole and true and eternal within you. That single choice—to worship the infinite instead of the wound—changes everything you become.
Word by Word
You become what you worship—this is the law of consciousness itself. When you offer devotion to the gods, you ascend to their realms; when you honor ancestors, you walk their path; when you serve lower forces, you bind yourself to them.
But when you turn your entire being toward Krishna, toward the infinite Self within all things, you come to Me—you come Home to what you have always been. In your daily life, this means choosing your inner focus with absolute care: what you contemplate, revere, and serve shapes not just your destiny but your very nature.
