Krishna to Arjuna
अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते ।तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम् ॥ २२ ॥
Transliteration
ananyāścintayanto māṃ ye janāḥ paryupāsateteṣāṃ nityābhiyuktānāṃ yogakṣemaṃ vahāmyaham

For those who worship me with undivided contemplation and remain continually steadfast, I bear the responsibility for obtaining what is needed and preserving what is held.

Original King of Dwarka translation

Reflection inspired by Bhagavad Gita 9.22

When much has become uncertain, the work of holding everything together can feel endless. This verse offers the language of entrusting care within devotion. It allows a relationship of trust without requiring us to know in advance how that care will take shape.

Source & context

Krishna speaks of those devoted to him with undivided attention. Yoga-kṣema concerns obtaining what is needed and preserving what is held; traditions understand its devotional scope differently. It is not a guarantee of wealth, safety or a chosen outcome.
