Paired Engagements
सर्वस्य चाहं हृदि संनिविष्टो मत्त: स्मृतिर्ज्ञनमपोहनं च । वेदैश्व सर्वैरहमेव वेद्यो वेदान्तकृद् वेदविदेव चाहम्
sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi saṁniviṣṭo mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca | vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyo vedāntakṛd vedavid eva cāham ||
Благословенный Господь сказал: «Я пребываю в сердце каждого существа как внутренний Владыка. От Меня происходят память, знание и также забвение — отнятие знания. Всеми Ведами познаваем лишь Я один; Я — творец Веданты и Я же — знаток Вед».

Educational Q&A
The Supreme Lord is the indwelling presence in all hearts and the ultimate source of cognition—memory, knowledge, and even the loss of knowledge. Therefore, the Vedas ultimately aim at knowing Him; He both establishes the purport of the Vedas (Vedānta) and fully knows them.
In the battlefield dialogue, Kṛṣṇa is concluding the teaching of Puruṣottama-yoga by identifying Himself as the inner ruler (antaryāmin) who governs understanding and as the final referent of scriptural revelation, thereby stabilizing Arjuna’s ethical struggle with a theocentric foundation for duty and discernment.
