Translator:
Whatever forms are produced, O Arjuna, in any womb whatsoever, the great Brahma is their womb, and I am the seed-giving father.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: whatever forms are produced in any womb, the great nature is their womb, and Krishna is the seed-giving father, again extending the same image universally, across every kind of birth and origin.

In life: recognizing a shared origin underneath very different-looking outcomes, people, circumstances, even ideas, can soften the sense of total separateness between things that otherwise look completely unrelated.

Teaching: practice noticing the shared underlying origin between two things in your life that otherwise look completely unrelated, that noticing tends to soften an unnecessary sense of separateness between them.
