Chapter 7 • Verse 10

बीजं मां सर्वभूतानां विद्धि पार्थ सनातनम्। बुद्धिर्बुद्धिमतामस्मि तेजस्तेजस्विनामहम्॥

bījaṁ māṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ viddhi pārtha sanātanam buddhir buddhimatām asmi tejas tejasvinām aham

Meaning

Know Me to be the eternal seed of all beings, O Arjuna. I am the intelligence of the intelligent and the brilliance of the brilliant.

The Divine is the original seed from which all life springs — eternal, unchanging. When you encounter true intelligence or brilliance in someone, you're witnessing Divine energy expressing through a human form. Your own intelligence and brilliance are not personal achievements but Divine gifts flowing through you.

Strength Reflection

"I recognize my intelligence and abilities as Divine gifts, not personal possessions to boast about."

Devotional Surrender

Lord, You are the source of all brilliance. Whatever wisdom I have comes from You alone.
