Lord of Worlds, Lover of all that lives.

Excerpt

The Saint who shuts outside his placid soul All touch of sense, letting no contact through; Whose quiet eyes gaze straight from fixed brows, Whose outward breath and inward breath are drawn Equal and slow through nostrils still and close; That one-with organs, heart, and mind constrained, Bent on deliverance, having put away Passion, and fear, and rage;—hath, even now, Obtained deliverance, ever and ever freed. Yea! for he knows Me Who am He that heeds The sacrifice and worship, God revealed; And He who heeds not, being Lord of Worlds, Lover of all that lives, God unrevealed, Wherein who will shall find surety and shield!

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Bhagavad Gita, whoever has calmed the senses and the mind discovers that the Lord, speaking here through Krishna, rules the worlds and is the Lover and Friend of all that lives, and then finds peace. Today, take three slow, even breaths, then think of someone you love and of someone who weighs on you, saying to yourself: “He is the Friend of them both.”
