Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, Verse 44 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eleventh chapter, Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga, after the overwhelming vision of the universal form, Arjuna is filled with humility. Realizing the supreme majesty of his friend and charioteer, he prostrates and asks Krishna to forgive any past familiarity, appealing to the Lord's love as that of a father, a friend and a beloved.

✦ As told in scripture

The bhakti tradition treasures this verse as proof that the Supreme Lord delights to be loved intimately, and that He forgives the lapses of His devotees as tenderly as a father forgives a child — for divine love, once awakened, overlooks every fault of the loving heart.
