Bhagavad Gita 7.14 meaning
daivee hy-esha gunamayee mama maya duratyaya
mam eva ye prapadyante mayam etam taranti te
दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया।
मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते॥
This divine illusion of mine, made of the three qualities of nature, is very hard to cross. But those who take refuge in me alone cross over it.
What it means
Getting free from our own patterns by willpower alone is very hard. Surrender and trust in something higher can carry you across where pure effort keeps getting stuck.How it helps in real life
- Health & body: Tried quitting alcohol on willpower alone and failed? Join a support group and lean on something bigger than your own strength.
- When you are worried: Can't shake a constant worry no matter how hard you try? Hand it over in a short prayer at night and let yourself rest.
हिंदी में अर्थ
गुणों से बनी यह मेरी दैवी माया पार करना बहुत कठिन है। पर जो केवल मेरी शरण में आते हैं, वे इस माया को पार कर जाते हैं।
केवल इच्छाशक्ति से अपने ही ढर्रों से निकलना बहुत कठिन है। ईश्वर में समर्पण और भरोसा वहाँ पार ले जाता है जहाँ केवल प्रयास अटक जाता है।
Spoken by Krishna.
