Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10, Verse 22 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the tenth chapter, the Yoga of Divine Glories (Vibhuti Yoga), Krishna unfolds for Arjuna the foremost manifestations of his power throughout creation. Here he moves from scriptures and gods to the inner instruments of experience — the mind and consciousness — showing that the same Supreme shines outwardly in glory and inwardly as the awareness of all beings.

✦ As told in scripture

Seekers who meditated on the phrase 'I am consciousness among beings' report that the search for God, once directed outward, suddenly turned inward and came to rest in their own awareness, where they felt the nearness of the Lord as their very Self.
