Unshaken by creation and collapse

Resting in this knowledge, they come to share My nature. They are not born at creation, nor shaken at dissolution.

What it means

Krishna says those who rest in this knowledge come to share his very nature, sadharmya. When worlds are created, they aren't swept into birth. When worlds dissolve, they aren't troubled. They stand steady through every cosmic change, because they're rooted in what doesn't change.

The story

Arjuna's world is about to be turned upside down by war. Krishna offers him a steadiness that even the end of worlds can't disturb.

In your life

Imagine someone who stayed calm through a company collapse, a move and a divorce, because their sense of self didn't depend on circumstances. Root yourself in something steady this week.
