It is outside and inside all beings, unmoving and moving; too subtle to be grasped, it is both far away and very near.

How does this verse apply to your life?

Ask Saarthi in Hindi, English or Hinglish — it answers from the Gita and Ekantik Vartalap satsangs, with sources.

The Sanskrit is public domain; the transliteration was generated for Saarthi. Meanings are original plain-language paraphrases, not a scholarly translation. Verse numbers follow the common 701-verse numbering, where Arjuna’s question that opens chapter 13 is counted as 13.1. Some editions omit it, so their chapter-13 numbers are one lower.
