Shloka 61
भीष्मविक्रमदर्शनं तथा क्रौञ्चारुणव्यूहविधानम् | Bhīṣma’s Ascendancy and the Organization of the Krauñcāruṇa Formation
सम्बन्ध-- पूर्वश्लोकोंनें कर्म करनेगें मनुष्यको स्वभावके अधीन बतलाया गया: इसपर यह शंका हो सकती है कि प्रकृति या स्वभाव जड है; वह किसीको अपने वशमें कैसे कर सकता है; इसलिये भगवान् कहते हैं-- ईश्वर: सर्वभूतानां हृद्देशेडर्जुन तिष्ठति । भ्रामयन् सर्वभूतानि यन्त्रारूढानि मायया
īśvaraḥ sarvabhūtānāṁ hṛddeśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati | bhrāmayan sarvabhūtāni yantrārūḍhāni māyayā ||
The Lord abides in the heart of every being, O Arjuna. By His māyā He causes all creatures to move and turn about, as though mounted on a machine—indicating that embodied agency operates under an inner divine governance even while moral responsibility for one’s chosen alignment remains central to dharma.
