Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18, Verse 73 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eighteenth chapter, Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, after Krishna has imparted the entire teaching and asked whether Arjuna's delusion is dispelled, Arjuna gives this reply. Addressing Krishna as Achyuta, he affirms that his confusion is gone, his understanding restored by grace, and that he will now act according to the Lord's word — the resolution that completes the Gita.

✦ As told in scripture

This verse is cherished as living proof of the Gita's power: that the grace of the Lord, conveyed through His teaching, can utterly dispel the deepest delusion of the heart and restore the soul to clarity, courage and faithful action.
