Bhagavad Gita BG 4.35
Chapter 4, Verse 35 — Meaning, Translation & Explanation
यज्ज्ञात्वा न पुनर्मोहम् एवं यास्यसि पाण्डव । येन भूतान्यशेषेण द्रक्ष्यस्यात्मन्यथो मयि ॥
yaj jnatva na punar moham evam yasyasi pandava yena bhutany asheshena drakshasy atmany atho mayi
Meaning
Knowing which, O Pandava, you shall not fall again into delusion like this; by it you shall see all beings without exception first in yourself — and then in Me.
Understanding
The promise of what awaits: knowing this, moha (delusion — the fundamental confusion of Self with ego-body) will not arise again. And the great vision: all beings seen asheshena (without remainder, completely) first in the Self (atmani — recognizing the same Consciousness in all) — and then in Me (Krishna — the absolute ground). This is the progression from advaita realization to full cosmic vision.
