Bhagavad Gita BG 6.30
Chapter 6, Verse 30 — Meaning, Translation & Explanation
यो मां पश्यति सर्वत्र सर्वं च मयि पश्यति । तस्याहं न प्रणश्यामि स च मे न प्रणश्यति ॥
yo mam pashyati sarvatra sarvam ca mayi pashyati tasyaham na pranashyami sa ca me na pranashyati
Meaning
One who sees Me everywhere and sees all in Me — I am never lost to that one, nor is that one ever lost to Me.
Understanding
The personal, devotional dimension of the all-seeing vision. Verse 29 was universal (sarva-bhuta, all beings, Atman). Here Krishna personalizes it: yo mam pashyati sarvatra (who sees ME everywhere). Sarvam ca mayi pashyati (sees all in ME). The fruit: the mutual non-loss. Tasyaham na pranashyami — I am not lost to that one (they do not lose Me). Sa ca me na pranashyati — nor is that one lost to Me (I do not lose them). This is the union of the devotional and the non-dual: they see Me everywhere and I see them always.
