Bhagavad Gita 10.3 · Krishna
Know the unborn, set down the weight
यो मामजमनादिं च वेत्ति लोकमहेश्वरम्।
असम्मूढः स मर्त्येषु सर्वपापैः प्रमुच्यते॥
yo māmajamanādiṃ ca vetti lokamaheśvaramasammūḍhaḥ sa martyeṣu sarvapāpaiḥ pramucyate
Whoever knows me as unborn, without beginning, the great Lord of the worlds, is free of confusion and released from all wrongdoing.
What it means
Wrongdoing here means the harm that binds us and weighs us down. Krishna says that knowing him as unborn and beginningless clears the deepest confusion. When you glimpse what is eternal, frantic mistakes lose their grip. This knowledge is not trivia. It changes how a person stands in the world.
The story
Arjuna fears that whatever he does today will stain him forever. Krishna answers not with a rule but with a vision of who is speaking. The weight Arjuna carries is real. It is just not the whole picture.
In your life
In a recovery meeting, a man stands and says, for the first time, I am more than my worst year. The room goes quiet. Today, name one mistake you keep replaying, and set it beside something larger.
Know the unborn, and the knots loosen.
