Bhagavad Gita 4.35

यज्ज्ञात्वा न पुनर्मोहमेवं यास्यसि पाण्डव। येन भूतान्यशेषेण द्रक्ष्यस्यात्मन्यथो मयि॥

yaj jñātvā na punar moham evaṁ yāsyasi pāṇḍava yena bhūtānyaśheṣheṇa drakṣhyasyātmanyatho mayi

Translation

And having known this, thou shalt not again fall into this confusion, O Pândava; for by this thou wilt see all beings without exception in the Self, and thus in Me.

What it means

Knowing this, you will not fall into delusion again, for you will see all beings in the Self and thus in Me. The end of confusion is a change in vision. Every face becomes a window to the same Self.

Try this today

The promise: real understanding permanently changes perception - no being remains a stranger.

Something to reflect on

Whom do I still treat as a stranger who might be the same life looking back?
