Bhagavad Gita 7.28 · Krishna
When the fog lifts
येषां त्वन्तगतं पापं जनानां पुण्यकर्मणाम्।
ते द्वन्द्वमोहनिर्मुक्ता भजन्ते मां दृढव्रताः॥
yeṣāṃ tvantagataṃ pāpaṃ janānāṃ puṇyakarmaṇāmte dvandvamohanirmuktā bhajante māṃ dṛḍhavratāḥ
But those of good deeds, whose wrongdoing has ended, freed from the confusion of opposites, worship Me with steady resolve.
Words
- pāpa
What it means
Krishna describes the turning point. Through good actions, papa, wrongdoing, gradually comes to an end. The fog of opposites lifts. And people become free to love the divine with dridha-vrata, firm resolve. Not tossed by every mood, but steady in devotion.
The story
Arjuna is close to this turning point. His fog is beginning to lift. Krishna shows him what's on the other side, a steady, wholehearted love that no confusion can shake.
In your life
Think of someone who, after years of inner struggle, finally feels settled about what matters most. Decisions become easier. Write down what you're most committed to. Let it steady you.
When the fog lifts, love becomes steady.
