Bhagavad Gita 11.28 is Chapter 11, Verse 28, in Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga (The Universal Form). Below are the Sanskrit text, a transliteration, a plain-English translation and an explanation.
yathā nadīnāṁ bahavo 'mbu-vegāḥ samudram evābhimukhā dravanti tathā tavāmī nara-loka-vīrā viśanti vaktrāṇy abhivijvalanti
"As many torrents of rivers flow toward the ocean, so these heroes of the human world enter Your blazing mouths."
What This Means:
Metaphor: as rivers rush toward the sea, so these human heroes rush into Krishna's blazing mouths. Inevitable, irresistible, flowing toward dissolution.
Going Deeper:
Rivers don't choose to flow to the sea, it's their nature. Similarly, beings flow toward death. It's not punishment; it's the nature of time. All streams return to the source.
How To Apply This:
Your life is flowing toward its destination. This isn't morbid but natural. Like a river, you can flow gracefully or resist, but the direction is set.
