Bhuta-gramah sa evayam bhutva bhutva praliyate, ratry-agame 'vashah partha prabhavaty ahar-agame

Again and again the day comes, and all beings take birth; and with the coming of night, all are helplessly dissolved. O Partha, the same multitude of beings comes into being again and again helplessly. Souls are compelled to take birth again and again by the force of karma and cosmic cycles — only God-realization breaks this cycle.

  • Souls are caught in repeated cycles of manifestation and dissolution
  • The helplessness of conditioned souls drives the urgency of spiritual liberation
  • Understanding cosmic cycles motivates sincere practice
