Bhagavad Gita 10.39

yac cāpi sarva-bhūtānāṁ

bījaṁ tad aham arjuna

na tad asti vinā yat syān

mayā bhūtaṁ carācaram

 

Of all that lives, I am the seed,

The source from which all forms proceed.

No being—moving or non-moving—

Exists apart from my sustaining.

 

In striving to know you and love you, let me seek curiosity, not certainty. Your glories are unlimited. Your beauty is an unending revelation for the heart that is devoted to loving you.

Curiosity helps me see, O Lord, how you are constantly revealing new facets of your glory—both in your pastimes and in this world. For those who choose to remember and cherish your pastimes, enrich them with many revelations and realizations.

Even in this finite, fragile, and valuable world, you reveal yourself through moments of serenity, serendipity, and synchronicity. The entire universe is alive with your presence. You are constantly sending signs of sublime significance to the open mind and the eager heart that seek you through service and contribution.

In this transient, turbulent, traumatizing world, bless me, my Lord, so that I don’t become discouraged by the world’s negativity, nor become captivated by impressive sounding theories about the nature of the world that neglect or reject your defining role. Let the divine realities of your love for me and your endless revelation of that love in myriads of ways keep the flame of my curiosity burning and fueling my journey toward you.

10.39 Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being – moving or nonmoving – that can exist without Me.
