October Gītā: 6.30

yo māṁ paśhyati sarvatra
sarvaṁ cha mayi paśhyati
tasyāhaṁ na praṇaśhyāmi
sa cha me na praṇaśhyati

‘For those who see me everywhere and see all things in me, I am never lost, nor are they ever lost to me.’

Bhagavad Gītā 6.30

This sloka reminds me that Krishna (or a higher power) is everywhere and his essence is love. For each of us, our interpretation of this higher power may be different. Some of us might connect with Krishna, others with a different form of the Divine or a formless consciousness. However we interpret this higher power it can help us recognise the beauty in life and nature. It can allow us to find compassion for other living beings and people, even when they challenge us. It provides me with comfort because it reminds me of the universal consciousness that exists in myself and others. It reminds me we are all connected and supported through love.
