Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 9, Verse 11 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the ninth chapter, Raja-Vidya Yoga, Krishna imparts the most confidential and sovereign knowledge of devotion. Having revealed that all beings rest in him while he remains transcendent, he observes with compassion that the deluded, seeing only his human form, deride him — blind to his supreme nature as the Lord of all beings.

✦ As told in scripture

The tradition recalls how even great ones failed to honour the Lord while he walked the earth in human form, while humble devotees who perceived his divinity were uplifted; saints teach that those who look past the outer form and recognize the Supreme within receive his grace, where the proud who deride it remain bound by delusion.
