My Personal Gita
It remains undistinguished among the distinguished beings, and appears as if distinguished. It is to be known as the supporter of beings, and also as their swallower and originator.
In all beings undivided, yet living in division, It is the upholder of all, Creator and Destroyer alike;
Undivided and yet remaining as if divided among beings, this self is to be known as the supporter of elements. It devours them and causes generation.
And the Knowable, though undivided, appears to be existing as divided in all beings, and It is the sustainer of all beings as also the devourer and originator.
And undivided, yet He exists as if divided in beings; He is to be known as the supporter of beings; He devours and He generates also.
