On Essential Love, we're unfolding the 70 core verses of the Bhagavad Gita. Chapter 4, Verse 8 of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita focuses on the theme of deservershiplessness, as Shri Krishna shares that the Divine manifests—not through birth, but as needed—to protect the virtuous, correct the vicious, and restore righteousness. By being available to Divinity, just as Divinity is always available to us, we align with the timeless tradition of teachers and students.

In Chapter 3, Verse 37, Shri Krishna explains the nature of sin and the inner forces—like desire and anger—that drive us to act against our will. These vices steal our inner peace and block right action, reminding us that to overcome outer enemies, we must first conquer our inner enemies through self-love.
