avibhaktaṁ cha bhūteṣhu vibhaktam iva cha sthitam bhūta-bhartṛi cha taj jñeyaṁ grasiṣhṇu prabhaviṣhṇu cha
In plain words
You feel fragmented—broken into pieces by loss, by failure, by the weight of what you carry alone. But Krishna says: the awareness that hurts in you right now is the same awareness that moves through every person you love, every person who has hurt you, every creature on earth. You are not as separate as your pain makes you feel.
Word by Word
The Infinite appears divided among finite forms, yet remains eternally whole—like the sun's rays seeming separate yet unified in their source. This Supreme Consciousness sustains all existence, devours time itself, and generates infinite worlds through its creative power.
When you recognize that the awareness witnessing your thoughts is the same undivided consciousness that animates all beings, the illusion of separation dissolves into lived unity.
