Seeing everyone in yourself

yajjñātvā na punarmohamevaṃ yāsyasi pāṇḍavayena bhūtānyaśeṣāṇi drakṣyasyātmanyatho mayi

Knowing this, son of Pandu, you will never again be confused. You will see all beings in yourself, and then in Me.

What it means

Krishna promises the fruit of true knowledge. Confusion won't return. And you'll see something astonishing. All beings in yourself. Then all beings in Krishna. The walls between people dissolve. Friend and foe, family and stranger, all held in one great reality.

The story

Arjuna's crisis began with seeing family on both sides and feeling torn apart. Krishna offers a deeper sight. All of them, and Arjuna too, are held in one being. Separation isn't the final truth.

In your life

Picture someone on a crowded bus who suddenly feels connected to every tired face around them. The irritation melts. Try it today. Look at strangers and silently say, you and I are not separate.
