Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 10: The Divine Glories

Bhagavad Gita 10.3

yo māmajamanādiṃ ca vetti lokamaheśvaram | asammūḍhaḥ sa martyeṣu sarvapāpaiḥ pramucyate ||

One who knows me as unborn and without beginning, the great Lord of the worlds, is free from delusion among mortals and is released from all sins.

Modern context

Knowing the divine as unborn and without beginning frees a person from delusion. Why would this matter? Because much of our confusion comes from thinking everything is like us: born, limited, passing. Recognizing something that has no beginning changes the frame. Our own lives are seen against a background that does not pass, and that steadiness loosens the grip of the mistakes that come from fear.
