Chapter 10 • Verse 7
The Yoga of Divine Glories
MEANING & CONTEXT
Krishna reveals the outcome of knowing His divine manifestations. 'Yo vetti'—who knows. Not just knows about, but knows 'tattvataḥ'—in truth, in essence. What do they know? 'Etām vibhūtim'—this divine manifestation. 'Yogaṁ ca mama'—and this Yoga of Mine. This refers to the divine glories (vibhūti) Krishna has been enumerating: the qualities, the sages, the Manus—all manifestations of the Supreme. 'So 'vikampena yogena yujyate'—he becomes united with unshakable Yoga. When you truly know the divine manifestations in essence, you become united with unshakable Yoga—not wavering, not doubting, but steady. 'Nātra saṁśayaḥ'—there is no doubt about it. This is the practical outcome: recognizing divine manifestations leads to unshakable union with the Supreme.
