Many have walked this way

vītarāgabhayakrodhā manmayā māmupāśritāḥbahavo jñānatapasā pūtā madbhāvamāgatāḥ

Free of clinging, fear and anger, absorbed in Me, resting in Me, many, purified by the fire of knowledge, have come to My being.

What it means

Krishna reassures Arjuna. Many people before you, he says, have reached me. They let go of clinging, fear and anger. They were absorbed in me and took refuge in me. Purified by the tapas, the fire, of knowledge, they came to share my very nature. It's not a lonely path.

The story

Arjuna may feel he's being asked for the impossible. Krishna answers, others have done it. Ordinary people, through love and understanding, have become free. It's a door left open, not a wall.

In your life

Think of someone joining a support group and hearing others say, I was where you are. Hope arrives. Find someone who's already walked a road you're on. Ask how they did it.
