Origin & History
Source: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18, Verse 46
Author: Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva)
In the eighteenth and final chapter, Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, Krishna summarizes the whole teaching of the Gita. Having described duties according to one's nature, he reveals this profound truth: the Lord who is the source of all beings and pervades the universe is worshipped through one's own work, and by such worship a person attains perfection.
