Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 - Dhyana Yoga - Sloka 30

The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission.

Perfection Yoga - 29-32
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 6 - Dhyana Yoga - Sloka 30


Yo mam pashyati sarvatra sarvam cha mayi pashyati I
Tasyaham na pranashyami sa cha me na pranashyati II sloka 30
यो माम पश्यति सर्वत्र सर्वं च मयि पश्यति ।
तस्याहं न प्रणश्यामि स च मे न प्रणश्यति ।। श्लोक ३०

He who sees Me everywhere and sees all in Me, he never becomes lost to Me, nor do I become lost to him.
After realising the unity in all beings, the yogi further realises that it is the parmatman that manifests Himself as the multitudinous beings at all levels. The one appearing as the many is the eternal sport of the Lord and not just the yogi's imagination. He and his manifestations are inter-related as the ocean and its waves. He is therefore not lost to the Lord and the Lord is not lost to Him. 
Sweetmeats in the shape of various animals, birds and men are made from the same stuff, sugar. Likewise, it is the Lord who has assumed all forms in the universe.
Sri Ramakrishna Parmahamsa
