Verse 41
The Yoga of Divine Glories
Know that all opulent, beautiful and glorious creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.
Context & Meaning
The most practical teaching of the chapter: wherever you encounter beauty, excellence, splendor, or power in any form — know it as a spark of the Divine. You do not need to read a list. Train the eye to see: magnificence is always a trace of the Source. Every sunrise, every act of genius, every moment of deep beauty — a spark of the Supreme.

2 commentaries · Public domainAdi Shankaracharya
AdvaitaTejosaṃśasambhavam — born from a fragment of divine splendor. This is the transformative instruction: reality-as-seen becomes a continuous theophany for the one with trained vision. Every encounter with beauty becomes a darśan of the Divine.
Madhvacharya
DvaitaThe devotee does not need to memorize every item in the catalogue. This one principle — that all excellence is a divine spark — is sufficient. Living by this principle, the devotee finds the Divine everywhere, at every moment.
