Bhagavad Gita 6.31 · Krishna
However you live
सर्वभूतस्थितं यो मां भजत्येकत्वमास्थितः।
सर्वथा वर्तमानोऽपि स योगी मयि वर्तते॥
sarvabhūtasthitaṃ yo māṃ bhajatyekatvamāsthitaḥsarvathā vartamāno’api sa yogī mayi vartate
The yogi who rests in oneness and loves Me as present in all beings lives in Me, whatever their way of life.
What it means
Krishna says something freeing. The yogi who honours him in every being, established in oneness, lives in him. Sarvatha vartamanah api. Whatever their way of life. Parent, worker, warrior, monk. The outer form matters less than the inner seeing.
The story
Arjuna doesn't need to become a hermit to be close to God. Krishna says he can live in the divine right here, as a warrior, a brother, a prince, if he sees God in everyone.
In your life
Picture a busy bus driver who greets every passenger warmly, seeing each as precious. Their bus is a temple. Whatever your work, see the people in it as sacred today.
Any life can be lived in the sacred.
