Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 9: The Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret

Bhagavad Gita 9.10

mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram | hetunānena kaunteya jagadviparivartate ||

Under my watch, nature brings forth everything that moves and everything that does not. Because of this, Arjuna, the world keeps turning.

Modern context

Nature does the work of creation, and the divine presides over it. The picture is like a conductor and an orchestra. The players produce every sound; the conductor plays no instrument. Yet without the conductor the music would fall apart. In the same way, the world turns by its own laws, under a presence that holds it in order. Both are needed: nature's activity and the awareness that oversees it.
