Oneness with all
Experience your unity with the divine and all existence. Move from separation to connection.
Sarva-bhuta-stham atmanam sarva-bhutani chatmani, ikshate yoga-yuktatma sarvatra sama-darshanah
The yogis, who are united in consciousness, see the soul in all beings and all beings in the soul. They see the same in all.
Yo mam pashyati sarvatra sarvam ca mayi pashyati, tasyaham na pranashyami sa ca me na pranashyati
One who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me — I am never lost to that person, and that person is never lost to Me. This is the essence of the vision of oneness: the devotee who sees the Divine in all and all in the Divine is forever united with the Lord.
Sarva-bhuta-sthitam yo mam bhajaty ekatvam asthitah, sarvatha vartamano 'pi sa yogi mayi vartate
The yogi who worships Me dwelling in all beings, established in unity — that yogi abides in Me regardless of how they live. One who sees the Divine in all beings and lives from that unitive vision is always dwelling in God, regardless of outer circumstances.
Atmaupamyena sarvatra samam pashyati yo 'rjuna, sukham va yadi va duhkham sa yogi paramo matah
Those who see with equal vision their own self in all beings, and all beings in their own self, whether in happiness or in distress, are considered to be perfect yogis.
Mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya, mayi sarvam idam protam sutre mani-gana iva
O conqueror of wealth (Arjuna), there is no truth superior to Me. Everything rests upon Me, as pearls are strung on a thread. This verse establishes the absolute supremacy of God as the ultimate reality, the substratum on which all existence depends.
Maya tatam idam sarvam jagad avyakta-murtina, mat-sthani sarva-bhutani na chaham teshv avasthitah
I pervade this entire universe in My unmanifest form. All beings exist in Me, but I am not limited to them.
Na ca mat-sthani bhutani pashya me yogam aishvaram, bhuta-bhrn na ca bhuta-stho mamatma bhuta-bhavanah
And yet beings do not rest in Me — behold My divine mystery! My Self, which sustains all beings and brings them into existence, does not actually dwell in them. Just as the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, always rests in space, so do all beings rest in Me.
Aham atma gudakesha sarva-bhutashaya-sthitah, aham adish cha madhyam cha bhutanam anta eva cha
I am the self, O Gudakesha, seated in the hearts of all beings. I am the beginning, middle, and end of all beings.
Sarvendriya-gunabhasam sarvendriya-vivarjitam, asaktam sarva-bhric caiva nirgunam guna-bhoktri cha
The knowable is the source of all sense functions yet is itself without any senses. It is unattached yet sustains all; it is without qualities yet experiences all qualities. This apparent paradox reveals the transcendent nature of the Absolute.
Yavat sanjayate kinchit sattvam sthavara-jangamam, kshetra-kshetrajña-samyogat tad viddhi bharatarshabha
Know, O Arjuna, that whatever being, moving or non-moving, is born, it is from the union between the field and the knower of the field.
Samam sarveshu bhutesu tishthantam parameshvaram, vinashyatsv avinashyantam yah pashyati sa pashyati
One who sees the Supreme Lord equally present in all beings, the imperishable within the perishable — that person truly sees. The hallmark of genuine realization is the perception of the Divine equally in all forms of existence.
Mamaivamsho jiva-loke jiva-bhutah sanatanah, manah-shashthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karshati
The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.
Sarva-bhūteṣhu yenaikaṁ bhāvam avyayam īkṣhate, avibhaktaṁ vibhakteṣhu taj jñānaṁ viddhi sāttvikam
That knowledge by which one sees the imperishable reality in all beings, undivided in the divided—know that knowledge to be of the nature of goodness.
Vidya-vinaya-sampanne brahmane gavi hastini, shuni caiva shvapake ca panditah sama-darshinah
The humble sages, by virtue of true knowledge, see with equal vision a learned and gentle brahmana, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater.
Ihaiva tair jitah sargo yesham samye sthitam manah, nirdosham hi samam brahma tasmad brahmani te sthitah
Even here in this world, those whose minds rest in equanimity have conquered birth; since Brahman is flawless and equal, they are established in Brahman. Equanimity of mind is not merely a virtue — it is the direct perception of Brahman's nature.
Udarah sarva evaite jnani tv atmaiva me matam, asthitah sa hi yuktatma mam evanuttamam gatim
All these devotees are certainly noble souls, but I consider the jnani to be My very Self. Established in yoga, the jnani has attained Me as the supreme goal. While all four types of devotees are noble, the enlightened devotee (jnani) who sees no distinction between self and God is considered the most exalted.
Gatir bharta prabhuh sakshi nivasah sharanam suhrit, prabhavah pralayah sthanam nidhanam bijam avyayam
I am the goal, sustainer, master, witness, abode, shelter, and friend. I am the creation and destruction, the basis of everything, the resting place, and the eternal seed.
Samo 'ham sarva-bhuteshu na me dveshyo 'sti na priyah, ye bhajanti tu mam bhaktya mayi te teshu chapy aham
I am equal to all beings; none is hateful or dear to Me. But those who worship Me with devotion are in Me, and I am in them.
Aham sarvasya prabhavo mattah sarvam pravartate, iti matva bhajante mam budha bhava-samanvitah
I am the source of all creation, and everything proceeds from Me. Understanding this, the wise worship Me with great faith and devotion.
Kasmāch cha te na nameran mahātman garīyase brahmaṇo 'py ādi-kartre, ananta deveśha jagan-nivāsa tvam akṣharaṁ sad-asat tat paraṁ yat
O great soul, why should they not bow to You, who are even greater than Brahma the original creator? O infinite Lord of the gods, refuge of the universe, You are the imperishable, transcending both being and non-being.
