Easy to reach, for those who remember

ananyacetāḥ satataṃ yo māṃ smarati nityaśaḥtasyāhaṃ sulabhaḥ pārtha nityayuktasya yoginaḥ

For one who remembers me constantly, day after day, with a mind on nothing else, I am easy to reach, Partha.

What it means

After describing breath control and sacred syllables, Krishna softens. For the one who simply remembers him, constantly and wholeheartedly, he is sulabha, easy to reach. The heart of yoga, the steady path, is not complexity. It is constancy. Love that keeps showing up finds him close.

The story

In the epic, when Draupadi is humiliated in the gambling hall and no one defends her, she calls out to Krishna. The tradition remembers that help came at once. For the one who remembers, he is near.

In your life

Picture two old friends who live on different continents and have called every Sunday for twenty years. Distance never won. This week, send a message to someone you love, just because, and notice how close they feel.
