Bhagavad Gita 8.4 meaning

adhibhootam ksharo bhavah purushash chadhidaivatam adhiyajnoham evatra dehe dehabhritam vara
अधिभूतं क्षरो भावः पुरुषश्चाधिदैवतम्। अधियज्ञोऽहमेवात्र देहे देहभृतां वर॥

Best of embodied beings, the perishable world is called the material realm; the cosmic being is the divine realm; and I myself, present here within the body, am the lord of sacrifice.

What it means
Everything physical changes and fades. Yet Krishna says the divine lives right inside the body, not far away. You do not have to search somewhere distant; what you seek is already present within you.

How it helps in real life

हिंदी में अर्थ

हे देहधारियों में श्रेष्ठ, नाशवान जगत अधिभूत है, विराट पुरुष अधिदैव है, और इस शरीर के भीतर मैं ही अधियज्ञ हूँ।

शरीर और दुनिया बदलते और मिटते हैं। पर कृष्ण कहते हैं कि ईश्वर इसी शरीर के भीतर है, कहीं दूर नहीं। जिसे खोजते हो, वह पहले से तुम्हारे भीतर है।

Spoken by Krishna.
