Bhagavad Gita 9.22

अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते। तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम्॥

ananyāśh chintayanto māṁ ye janāḥ paryupāsate teṣhāṁ nityābhiyuktānāṁ yoga-kṣhemaṁ vahāmyaham

Translation

To those men who worship Me alone thinking of no other, to those ever harmonious, I bring full security.

What it means

To those who worship Me, meditating on Me alone, ever steadfast, I carry what they lack and preserve what they have. Security is promised to single-minded devotion. The logistics are taken over from above.

Try this today

The great assurance: single-hearted devotion receives full providence - yoga (getting) and kshema (keeping) both carried.

Something to reflect on

What would it feel like to have my getting and keeping carried, just once?
