Gita 10.8
अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्तः सर्वं प्रवर्तते।
इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विताः।।
ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate iti matvā bhajante māṁ budhā bhāva-samanvitāḥ
"I am the source of everything; from Me all creation emerges. Knowing this, the wise worship Me, endowed with deep feeling."
What This Means:
Krishna is the origin (prabhava) of ALL; everything proceeds from Him. The wise (budha), knowing this, worship with genuine feeling (bhava-samanvitah). Not dry ritual but heartfelt devotion.
Going Deeper:
Understanding origin leads to worship. When you truly grasp where everything comes from, gratitude and devotion arise naturally. The 'bhava' (feeling) isn't artificially generated—it flows from understanding.
How To Apply This:
Let understanding generate feeling. Don't force emotion; let it arise from seeing clearly. When you truly realize the source of all you love, devotion becomes spontaneous.
