Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18, Verse 58 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eighteenth chapter, Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, as Krishna concludes His teaching on devotion and surrender, He assures Arjuna that with his mind fixed on the Lord he will cross all obstacles by grace, while warning that egoistic refusal to heed the teaching leads to ruin — a call to humble, mindful surrender.

✦ As told in scripture

Devotees hold that those who keep their minds fixed on the Lord find, again and again, that seemingly impossible obstacles dissolve by His grace — for the Lord has promised to carry across every difficulty the one who depends on Him.
