अथवा बहुनैतेन किं ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन ।
विष्टभ्याहमिदं कृत्स्नमेकांशेन स्थितो जगत् ॥
विष्टभ्याहमिदं कृत्स्नमेकांशेन स्थितो जगत् ॥
हिन्दी अनुवाद
अथवा हे अर्जुन तुम्हें इस प्रकार बहुतसी बातें जाननेकी क्या आवश्यकता है मैं अपने किसी एक अंशसे सम्पूर्ण जगत् को व्याप्त करके स्थित हूँ ॥
English
Or, Arjuna, what is the need for all this detailed knowledge? I sustain this entire universe with a single fragment of myself.
श्लोक का अर्थ
Krishna says there is no need for endless detail: even a single part of his presence supports the entire universe.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On Kurukshetra, after showing Arjuna his many divine manifestations, Krishna closes the teaching by stepping beyond examples. He tells Arjuna that one fragment of his presence sustains the whole universe, ending the search for a complete inventory of the divine.
आज के संदर्भ में
You keep asking for one more explanation before you can trust the decision. But sometimes the pattern is already clear, and the rest is just your mind delaying surrender.
सार
The mind can relax. Reality is already held together by something far larger than your grasp.
