Chapter 9 • Verse 10
मयाध्यक्षेण प्रकृतिः सूयते सचराचरम्। हेतुनानेन कौन्तेय जगद्विपरिवर्तते॥
mayādhyakṣheṇa prakṛitiḥ sūyate sa-charācharam hetunānena kaunteya jagad viparivartate
Meaning
Under My supervision, prakriti produces all moving and non-moving beings. By this cause, O Arjuna, the world revolves.
God supervises nature, which then produces everything. God is the ultimate cause, nature is the instrumental cause. The world cycles through creation and dissolution under this supervision. Understanding this hierarchy helps us look beyond nature to its divine supervisor.
Strength Reflection
"I look beyond nature's mechanisms to the Divine consciousness supervising all."
Devotional Surrender
Lord, as You supervise all creation, supervise my life. Direct my nature's expression.
