Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4, Verse 11 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the fourth chapter, Jnana-Karma-Sanyasa Yoga, Krishna speaks of His divine descents and how He relates to His devotees. In this verse He reveals the principle of divine reciprocation: He rewards each soul in the very manner they approach Him, affirming that all beings ultimately tread His path.

✦ As told in scripture

Devotees across traditions cite this verse as proof that no sincere prayer goes unanswered — that the Lord, like a loving mirror, returns to each heart exactly the love it offers, meeting saints and beginners alike according to their own surrender.
