Bhagavad Gita 15.15

Krishna to Arjuna
सर्वस्य चाहं हृदि सन्निविष्टोमत्तः स्मृतिर्ज्ञानमपोहनञ्च ।वेदैश्च सर्वैरहमेव वेद्योवेदान्तकृद्वेदविदेव चाहम् ॥ १५ ॥
Transliteration
sarvasya cāhaṃ hṛdi sanniviṣṭomattaḥ smṛtirjñānamapohanañcavedaiśca sarvairahameva vedyovedāntakṛdvedavideva cāham

I am established in everyone's heart. From me come memory, knowledge, and their loss. I alone am to be known through all the Vedas; I am the maker of the Veda's culmination and the knower of the Veda.

Original King of Dwarka translation

Reflection inspired by Bhagavad Gita 15.15

Memory and its limits appear within a larger account of presence. Neither recollection nor forgetting becomes a measure of someone’s worth.

Source & context

Krishna speaks of his presence in every heart. Apohana can mean loss or removal of knowledge, and is also read as discriminating removal of doubt.
