Bhagavad Gita · Kshetra Kshetrajna Vibhaga YogaChapter 13, Shloka 30 (13.30)
Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्
यदा भूतपृथग्भावमेकस्थमनुपश्यति
तत एव च विस्तारं ब्रह्म सम्पद्यते तदा
॥ 13.30 ॥
yadā bhūtapṛthagbhāvamekasthamanupaśyati
tata eva ca vistāraṃ brahma sampadyate tadā
Translation
"When one sees the separate existence of beings as resting in the One, and their whole expansion as coming from that alone — then one attains Brahman."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. bhūtānāṃ pṛthagbhāvaṃ … ekasmin ātmani sthitaṃ … anupaśyati … ātmaiva idaṃ sarvam (Chhā. 7.25.2) — seeing the separate identity of all in the one Self; tata eva ca … vistāraṃ utpattiṃ vikāsam — from the Self alone comes origin and unfolding.
Acharya Ramanuja — a different reading. teṣāṃ devatvamanuṣyatvahrasvatvadīrghatvādi pṛthagbhāvam ekastham ekatattvasthaṃ prakṛtisthaṃ yadā paśyati, na ātmastham — when one sees differences such as god and human, short and tall, as resting in prakriti, not in the self; and the expansion too as coming from prakriti.
