Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 7 verse 7


Chapter 7 verse 7

“There is nothing whatsoever higher than Me. All this is strung in Me, as clusters of gems on a string”

To keep it simple, he states that any individual does not need to look beyond Him for ultimate surrender. Now that this is settled, he turns poetic by saying that all his creation is like a precious gem strung on a string with degrees of freedom and free will to move about that string but will stay within the string. 2 important points to note- first is that all beings created by Him are precious like rare gems or pearls. Let’s be grateful that we are born as human beings to have ability to recognize this good fortune. Secondly, if we stuck to the string woven by God, we will ultimately adorn his neck. Straying away from his grip or circle of influence will not do us mortals any good.
