Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18, Verse 62 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eighteenth chapter, Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, Krishna reveals that the Supreme Lord resides in the hearts of all beings, guiding them by His power. He then lovingly urges Arjuna to surrender to that indwelling Lord with his whole being, promising supreme peace and the eternal abode through divine grace — a teaching that anticipates the Gita's final word on surrender.

✦ As told in scripture

Saints of the bhakti tradition testify that the moment a devotee surrenders wholeheartedly, the burden of life is lifted and an unshakeable peace descends — for the Lord Himself, dwelling in the heart, takes charge of the one who takes refuge in Him.
