Shloka : 19 / 30

In this Bhagavad Gita verse, Lord Sri Krishna explains the exalted state of knowledge. Those born under the Makara Rasi, influenced by the Uthiradam Nakshatra and the planet Shani, will act with stability and responsibility in life. They will achieve success in business and finance through hard work. By acting responsibly within the family, they will play a significant role in family welfare. The teaching of this verse suggests that by attaining the knowledge of 'I am all,' they can achieve long-term success in business and finance. Harmony and unity will arise within the family. The planet Shani will enhance their sense of responsibility, leading them to success in all areas of life. Thus, devotion and knowledge of the Lord will bring peace and happiness to their lives.

In this verse, Lord Sri Krishna explains the journey of the wise. Only after many births of effort do those with true knowledge reach the Lord. This knowledge is the complete philosophy of realizing 'I am all.' That is, it refers to perceiving the divine spirit in everything and seeing Him. Those with such knowledge are very rare. They perceive the presence of God in all and walk in His footsteps. This is considered the ultimate goal of humanity.

This verse contains some of the most important concepts of Vedanta. 'I am all' is a key tenet of the complete Advaita philosophy. The world is merely an expression of the one Brahman. One can realize this truth only through the experiences of many births. Knowledge gains the ability to see ourselves as one soul, without distinguishing ourselves from others. This provides the capacity to understand reality. By taking refuge in the Lord, one sees everything within Him. Krishna states that attaining such knowledge is very rare.

Today, we face many issues, two of the most significant being family welfare and finances. If we apply the concept expressed in this verse to our modern lives, we can achieve peace of mind. By treating everyone and everything around us as manifestations of God, harmony can arise within the family. By prioritizing long-term plans in business and adhering to prudence in financial management, we can free ourselves from debts and EMIs. Using social media mindfully and valuing genuine human relationships can lead to mental peace. Healthy eating habits and exercise improve physical well-being. To attain longevity, maintaining balance in both mind and body will lead to success in all areas of life. In this context, the wisdom in the verse and love for the Lord will bring us success and peace in our lives.
