tvam ādi-devaḥ puruṣhaḥ purāṇas tvam asya viśhvasya paraṁ nidhānam vettāsi vedyaṁ cha paraṁ cha dhāma tvayā tataṁ viśhvam ananta-rūpa
In plain words
When you feel lost or invisible, when you ask "Who am I?" or "Does any of this matter?", it hurts in a deep place. Here Arjuna, seeing the vast form, calls Krishna the first of the gods, the resting place of the whole universe. Everything belongs to that. So do you. The anxious voice that says you're alone, and the low days that say you don't belong, are heavy. They're not the whole truth about you. If they last, please talk to someone who can help.
Word by Word
Arjuna beholds the truth that Krishna is not merely a teacher or guide, but the primordial consciousness from which all existence flows—the knower, the known, and the ground of all knowing itself. He is the eternal substratum upon which the entire cosmos rests and moves.
This recognition dissolves the boundary between worshipper and worshipped, revealing that the infinite Divine simultaneously knows you, is known by you, and dwells as the sanctuary within your own heart. When you touch this understanding in meditation or in moments of grace, the separate self dissolves into the luminous truth of oneness.
