Verse 8

The Yoga of Divine Glories

I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts.

Context & Meaning

Everything — spiritual and material, subtle and gross, sacred and mundane — emanates from the one Source. The wise, knowing this, worship the Source with their whole being (bhāvasamanvitāḥ — endowed with feeling and love). This is one of the clearest statements of divine origin in all of scripture.

Dvaita

Budhā — the truly wise — are distinguished not by learning alone but by the emotional fullness of their devotion. Bhāvasamanvitāḥ means their worship is filled with inner feeling. Knowledge without feeling is incomplete; feeling rooted in knowledge is transformative.
