Reached through love

puruṣaḥ sa paraḥ pārtha bhaktyā labhyastvananyayāyasyāntaḥsthāni bhūtāni yena sarvamidaṃ tatam

That Supreme Person, Partha, in whom all beings live and by whom all is pervaded, is reached by undivided love.

What it means

Krishna says the Supreme Person, in whom all beings live and who fills everything, is reached by bhakti ananya, undivided devotion. Love that isn't split among a hundred things. Not a technique, not a ritual. Love, whole and steady, is the path.

The story

After cosmic ages and dissolving worlds, Krishna brings it back to the simplest thing. Love. Arjuna doesn't need to master cosmology. He needs to love wholeheartedly.

In your life

Think of a person who loves their craft so completely that they're lost in it for hours. That undivided attention is a kind of devotion. Give something you love your whole attention today.
