Bhagavad Gita 10.41 · Krishna
A spark of My splendour
यद्यद्विभूतिमत्सत्त्वं श्रीमदूर्जितमेव वा।
तत्तदेवावगच्छ त्वं मम तेजोंऽशसम्भवम्॥
yadyadvibhūtimatsattvaṃ śrīmadūrjitameva vātattadevāvagaccha tvaṃ mama tejoṃśasambhavam
Whatever is glorious, beautiful or mighty, know that it springs from a spark of My splendour.
What it means
Krishna gives a simple rule. Wherever you see glory, beauty or power, know it as a spark of his tejas, his radiance. A great performance, a breathtaking view, a brave act, a kind heart. Each is a spark from the same fire. You don't need a list. Just notice the sparks.
The story
Arjuna is surrounded by mighty warriors, glorious banners, shining chariots. Krishna says, every flash of greatness here is a spark of me, on both sides of the field.
In your life
Imagine a moment of excellence that moved you, a perfect goal, a stunning song, an act of courage. That was a spark. Look for three sparks of greatness today, and give thanks for each.
Every glory is a spark of the divine.
