1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 10 - Vibhuti Yoga - Sloka 40


Na antah asti mama divyanam vibhutinam param tapa I
Eshah tu uddeshatah proktah vibuteh vistarah maya II sloka 40
न अन्तः अस्ति मम दिव्यानां विभूतीनां परम् तप I 
एषः तु  उद्धेषतः प्रोक्तः विभूतेः विस्तरः मया II श्लोक 40

There is no end of my divine manifestations, O harasser of foes; this is only a brief exposition by me of the extent of my glories.

The mother hen puts the chicks in the way of helping themselves to the grains of food. The young ones catch the process and continue to feed themselves. Likewise, the way of recognising the divinity in all is pointed by the lord. The sadhaka cognises god alone everywhere as he pursues the spiritual path. The act of seeking god evolves into seeing god.
