Origin & Story
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14, Verse 4 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)
The fourteenth chapter, the Yoga of the Division of the Three Gunas (Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga), explains how the three modes of nature bind the soul. Before describing them, Krishna establishes the origin of all beings, declaring that material nature is the universal womb and he is the seed-giving father — so that the entire diversity of life is understood as born from the union of his power and primordial nature.
✦ As told in scripture
Devotees have drawn deep solace from this verse in times of loneliness, for in calling himself the father of every creature, Krishna assures each soul that it is never orphaned in the cosmos but eternally held in the parentage and care of God.
