Bhagavad Gita 15.1 — The world as a tree
श्रीभगवानुवाच। ऊर्ध्वमूलमधःशाखमश्वत्थं प्राहुरव्ययम्। छन्दांसि यस्य पर्णानि यस्तं वेद स वेदवित् ॥
śrībhagavānuvāca | ūrdhvamūlamadhaḥśākhamaśvatthaṃ prāhuravyayam | chandāṃsi yasya parṇāni yastaṃ veda sa vedavit ||
Meaning
Krishna says: The world is like an eternal peepal (ashvattha) tree with its roots above and branches below. The Vedic hymns are its leaves; whoever understands this tree truly knows the Vedas.
In today's life
When the tangles of life feel heavy, remember that the root of this whole tree is above, in God — draw your strength from there.
