Explanation
Having gained that knowledge, you will not fall into delusion like this again, O son of Pandu. Through it you will see all beings, without exception, in your own Self and also in me. Knowledge brings a vision of unity.
This verse describes the fruit of the knowledge received from the wise teachers of 4.34. The delusion meant is Arjuna's present confusion about fighting his kin, described in chapter 1. Shankara reads seeing beings in the Self and in the Lord as realising the oneness of the individual Self and the Lord. Ramanuja reads it as seeing all selves as alike in nature and as all resting in the Lord, while remaining distinct. The vision returns in 6.29 to 6.30.
भावार्थ
हे पाण्डव, उस ज्ञान को जानकर तुम फिर इस प्रकार मोह में नहीं पड़ोगे। उसके द्वारा तुम सभी प्राणियों को पूर्ण रूप से अपने आत्मा में और फिर मुझमें देखोगे।
Living it today
