The Yoga of the Imperishable Brahman

सर्वभूतस्थितं यो मां भजत्येकत्वमास्थित: । सर्वथा वर्तमानो5पि स योगी मयि वर्तते,जो पुरुष एकीभावमें स्थित होकर" सम्पूर्ण भूतोंमें आत्मरूपसे स्थित मुझ सच्चिदानन्दघन वासुदेवको भजता है,* वह योगी सब प्रकारसे बरतता हुआ भी मुझमें ही बरतता हैः

sarvabhūtasthitaṁ yo māṁ bhajaty ekatvam āsthitaḥ | sarvathā vartamāno 'pi sa yogī mayi vartate ||

Quien, establecido en la visión de la unidad, Me adora como morando en todos los seres, ese yogui, aun actuando de todas las maneras, en verdad vive y se mueve en Mí. La fuerza ética de esta enseñanza es que la devoción recta es inseparable del respeto universal: al ver lo divino en todos, la conducta permanece interiormente anclada en lo Supremo incluso en medio de los deberes del mundo.

Educational Q&A

True yoga is to be established in oneness and to worship the Divine as present in all beings; then, even while performing diverse actions, one remains inwardly rooted in the Supreme.

In the dialogue on the battlefield, Arjuna voices a teaching about the yogin’s state: devotion grounded in the perception of the Lord’s presence in all beings makes one’s life and action abide in the Lord.
