The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation

Krishna begins explaining the three kinds of knowledge, starting with sattvic knowledge. 'Sarvabhūteṣu yenaikaṁ bhāvam avyayam īkṣate'—that knowledge by which (yena) one sees (īkṣate) the one (ekam) indestructible (avyayam) essence (bhāvam) in all beings (sarvabhūteṣu). 'Avibhaktaṁ vibhakteṣu'—undivided (avibhaktam) in the divided (vibhakteṣu). 'Taj jñānaṁ viddhi sāttvikam'—know (viddhi) that knowledge (tat jñānam) to be sattvic (sāttvikam). This is sattvic knowledge: seeing the one essence, the indestructible Self, in all beings. Despite apparent divisions (different bodies, forms, names), you see the undivided essence. This is the knowledge that recognizes unity in diversity, the eternal in the temporary, the one in the many. This is the highest kind of knowledge—seeing the Supreme in all, recognizing the divine essence in everything.
