🕉️ Timeless Words
नमस्यन्ति मे योगिनः पार्थ सर्वमेतत् प्रभुम्।
वेदाः स्मृतयश्च सर्वे वाङ्मयः साङ्ख्यं तथा॥
(Chapter 10, Verse 2)
“O Partha, all the yogis who are humble and devoted bow down to Me. All the Vedas, all the scriptures, and all knowledge—these are My words and wisdom.”
This verse reveals that humility is the hallmark of true devotees. Those who bow with reverence and surrender, recognizing the greatness of Krishna, are the ones who truly connect with Him. Humility is not weakness; it is the strength to acknowledge the divine beyond oneself.

🌊 Inner Dialogues
Perhaps you feel unsure if your devotion is “enough” or worry that humility means diminishing your own worth. Maybe your mind whispers, “If I’m too humble, will I be overlooked or forgotten?” These doubts are natural. Remember, humility in devotion is not about self-erasure but about recognizing your true place—as a beloved child in Krishna’s vast, loving presence.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My dear one, do not mistake humility for weakness. When you bow with a sincere heart, you are embracing your true self — not less, but beautifully connected to Me. In your humility, you find your strength, for it is the doorway to My love. Trust that I see your devotion, beyond words and deeds. Let go, and rest in the shelter of My grace.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine a student preparing for an important exam. If they approach with arrogance, believing they know everything, they close themselves off from learning and guidance. But a humble student, aware of their limits, listens carefully, asks questions, and grows. Similarly, devotion with humility means approaching Krishna as a loving student of life—open, receptive, and eager to learn from the Divine’s infinite wisdom.
