Chapter 6 • Verse 31
The Yoga of Meditation
MEANING & CONTEXT
Krishna describes the yogi who worships the divine in all beings. 'Sarva-bhūta-sthitaṁ yo māṁ bhajati'—one who (yaḥ) worships (bhajati) Me (mām) residing (sthitam) in all beings (sarva-bhūta). This means: the yogi who sees the divine in everyone and worships it—not just in some people, but in all beings. This is active worship—seeing the divine and honoring it in all. 'Ekatvam āsthitaḥ'—established (āsthitaḥ) in unity (ekatvam). This means: the yogi who is firmly established in the vision of unity—seeing the same Self in all, not seeing separation. 'Sarvathā vartamāno 'pi sa yogī mayi vartate'—even (api) being situated (vartamānaḥ) in all ways (sarvathā), that (saḥ) yogi (yogī) abides (vartate) in Me (mayi). This means: no matter how the yogi lives—what mode of living, what circumstances, what situation—the yogi abides in the divine. The mode of living doesn't matter—what matters is the vision of unity and worship of the divine in all beings. This is the result: worship divine in all, remain in unity, abide in divine regardless of circumstances.
