Having gained knowledge, you see all as one

Verse

यज्ज्ञात्वा न पुनर्मोहम् एवं यास्यसि पाण्डव ।येन भूतान्यशेषेण द्रक्ष्यस्यात्मन्यथो मयि ॥

yajjñātvā na punarmoham evaṃ yāsyasi pāṇḍavayena bhūtānyaśeṣeṇa drakṣyasyātmanyatho mayi

Possessing that knowledge thou shalt not fall again into the mind’s ignorance, O Pandava; for by this, thou shalt see all existences without exception in the Self, then in Me.

Gītā 4·35

(Knowledge is) that by possessing which we shall not fall again into the bewilderment of the mind’s ignorance and into its bondage to mere sense-knowledge and to the inferior activity of the desires and passions. The knowledge in which all culminates is that by which “thou shalt see all existences (becomings, bhūtāni) without exception in the Self, then in Me.” For the Self is that one, immutable, all-pervading, all-containing, self-existent reality or Brahman hidden behind our mental being into which our consciousness widens out when it is liberated from the ego; we come to see all beings as becomings, bhūtāni, within that one self-existence.
