English Translation
I am the origin of all; from Me everything proceeds. Knowing this, the wise worship Me endowed with devotion and deep feeling.
Commentary (टीका)
This is one of the most important verses in the Gita. Krishna declares Himself as the source of all creation — not just material but also spiritual. The wise (budha) recognize this truth and worship with genuine emotion (bhava). The combination of knowledge and devotion is highlighted — true worship arises from understanding God's supreme position.
