Whatever is glorious, beautiful, or mighty—know that it flows from a mere fraction of the Supreme's radiant power.

Learnings from Shloka 41:
  • Fraction of Glory:: The grandest achievements and beauties of earth are but a tiny drop in the ocean of divine splendor.
  • Humility in Success:: Recognizing that our talents are a fraction of divine power keeps the ego humble and grateful.
