ईश्वरः सर्वभूतानां हृद्देशेऽर्जुन तिष्ठति ।
भ्रामयन्सर्वभूतानि यन्त्रारूढानि मायया ॥
भ्रामयन्सर्वभूतानि यन्त्रारूढानि मायया ॥
संस्कृत पाठ0:00
हे अर्जुन ईश्वर सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंके हृदयमें रहता है और अपनी मायासे शरीररूपी यन्त्रपर आरूढ़ हुए सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंको उनके स्वभावके अनुसार भ्रमण कराता रहता है ॥

भगवद् गीता · 18.61
अंग्रेज़ी अनुवाद
O Arjuna, the Lord abides in the heart of all beings and, by His maya, causes all beings mounted on a body-machine to revolve according to their nature.
The Lord sits in every being's heart, Krishna says, turning them by maya as if mounted on a machine.
इस श्लोक का अर्थ
The divine lives in every being’s heart and moves all beings through maya, as if they were riding a body-machine and turning according to their nature.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
After saying Arjuna’s nature will drive him, he now explains the deeper force behind all movement: the divine within every being, and the veil of maya that makes bodies seem self-directed. This prepares Arjuna to surrender.
आज के जीवन में महत्व
A man is sure he chose to move to the city, yet he did exactly what his father and grandfather did. Krishna's image of beings mounted on a machine, turned by the Lord within, asks him to see how little of the steering was his.
“You are not as in control as you think, and that can be deeply humbling.”
