The Effect of Evolving in Wisdom 13-15
1 Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 13 - Kshetra Kshetrajna Yoga - Sloka 13


Sarvatah pani padam tat sarvatah akshi shirah mukham I
Sarvatah shruti mad loke sarvam avrutaya tishtathi II sloka 13
सर्वतः पाणि पदम् तत् सर्वतः अक्षि शिरः मुखं I 
सर्वतः श्रुति मद् लोके सर्वम् आवृत्य तिषठति I   श्लोक 13 

With hands and feet everywhere, with eyes and heads and mouths everywhere, with ears everywhere - He exists enveloping all.

A river assumes the characteristics of the sea as it flows to its proximity. Before the jivatman merges into the Supreme Brahman he gets a panoramic view and realization of the Iswara. While the multitudinous beings seem to have their own individualities, they are actually part and parcel of the cosmic entity.  There is nothing outside the pale of the Iswara.
