In this verse of the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Sri Krishna mentions that some do not perceive the divine when He manifests in human form. From a Jyotish perspective, individuals with Makara Rasi and Thiruvonam Nakshatra, being under the influence of Shani Graha, will emphasize hard work in their lives. They will take their responsibilities in career and family very seriously. Health is important to them, as they will act with a focus on physical well-being. However, they may sometimes struggle to perceive divine awareness. Therefore, they need to open their minds to recognize the divine in their lives. This will enhance their benefits in both career and family life. Additionally, engaging in practices that improve health will be beneficial for them. This verse will serve as a guide for them to recognize the divine and implement it in their lives.

In this verse, Sri Krishna states that when He reveals His divine nature in a human body, some do not recognize it. They only see His human form, which leads to the misconception that He appears like other humans without understanding the true essence of Him. The main idea of this verse is that those lacking the necessary knowledge cannot perceive the divine. Even when Krishna displays His divine power, to those who do not realize it, He appears as an ordinary human. Thus, we must not forget the truth that the Lord is always with us.

This verse reveals an important aspect of Vedanta, namely Maya. While the Lord is the source of all beings, He appears ordinary to humans. This is the effect of the unfathomable Maya. The true knowledge that Vedanta speaks of is seeing the divine everywhere. This philosophy bridges the gap between the perceivable world and the inability to believe in it. Maya obscures human self-interest and their sense of unity, causing them to miss the true nature of the Paramatma. This philosophy supports humans in expressing their divine awareness.

In today's life, we often respect people for their achievements, but we forget what their inner psychology has created. Many times, we focus solely on fulfilling the immediate needs in front of us. However, it is essential to establish long-term goals, health, and good habits. Many get trapped in feelings like deprivation due to the curated outputs seen on social media. We need to set clear long-term objectives. Our family welfare and financial stability should align with our long-term goals, which reduces debt/EMI pressure. Health should be prioritized in our eating habits. Parents must recognize and act on their responsibilities. By understanding and acting upon their inner strength and long-term vision, they can realize divine awareness.
