Bhagavad Gita 18.66: Sarva dharman parityajya — the final assurance

Chapter 18, verse 66 · Krishna to Arjuna

सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज। अहं त्वा सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः॥

Setting aside all other duties, take refuge in me alone. I will free you from all wrongs. Do not grieve.

हिंदी अर्थ: सब धर्मों को छोड़कर केवल मेरी शरण में आ जाओ। मैं तुम्हें सभी पापों से मुक्त कर दूँगा, शोक मत करो।

Context

Often called the charama shloka (the culminating verse). After all the teaching, Krishna offers a simple refuge and ends with “mā śucaḥ” — do not grieve.

What it means today

Not everything rests on your shoulders. Choose one worry today and consciously hand it over to time, trust or the divine.
