Bhagavad Gita 13.22

उपद्रष्टाऽनुमन्ता च भर्ता भोक्ता महेश्वरः।परमात्मेति चाप्युक्तो देहेऽस्मिन्पुरुषः परः॥

upadraṣhṭānumantā cha bhartā bhoktā maheśhvaraḥ paramātmeti chāpy ukto dehe ’smin puruṣhaḥ paraḥ

Translation

Supervisor and permitter, supporter, enjoyer, the great Lord, and also the supreme Self; thus is styled in this body the supreme Spirit.

What it means

The supreme Spirit in this body is called the witness, the permitter, the supporter, the enjoyer, the great Lord, the supreme Self. Within the same body sits a higher resident than the one we usually consult. We share the house with God.

Try this today

The body's highest resident named by five roles: watching, allowing, sustaining, experiencing, ruling.

Something to reflect on

Who is the highest resident of my house - and how often do I consult it?
