Bhagavad Gita 9.22
Krishna to ArjunaTransliteration
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 translationReflection 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.
