Chapter 7 • Verse 6
The Yoga of Knowledge and Wisdom
MEANING & CONTEXT
Krishna now reveals His ultimate nature: the source of everything. 'Etad yonīni bhūtāni sarvāṇi'—all beings have their source in these two natures (material and spiritual). 'Ahaṁ kṛtsnasya jagataḥ prabhavaḥ pralayas tathā'—I am the source (prabhava) and dissolution (pralaya) of the entire world. Everything comes from Krishna and returns to Krishna. This verse establishes Krishna as the ultimate source—not just a part of reality, but the source of all reality. Both material and spiritual natures come from Him. This is the culmination of the revelation: Krishna is the source of everything.

Key Takeaway
You see the world—trees, mountains, oceans, people, yourself. You think: 'Where does everything come from? What's the source of all this?' This verse addresses that question. Krishna says: all beings have their source in the two natures (material and spiritual), and I am the source and dissolution of the entire world. Everything comes from Krishna and returns to Krishna. Understanding this transforms how you see everything—you see the source, not just the surface.
Personal Reflection
Do you see Krishna as the source of everything, or do you see the world as separate from its source? When you see trees, mountains, oceans, people, yourself—do you see only the things, or do you also see the source from which they come?
