ध्यानेनात्मनि पश्यन्ति के चिद् आत्मानम् आत्मना ॥
अन्ये सांख्येन योगेन कर्मयोगेन चापरे ॥
अन्ये त्व् एवम् अजानन्तः श्रुत्वान्येभ्य उपासते ॥
ते ऽपि चातितरन्त्य् एव मृत्युं श्रुतिपरायणाः ॥
यावत् संजायते किं चित् सत्त्वं स्थावरजङ्गमम् ॥
क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञसंयोगात् तद् विद्धि भरतर्षभ ॥
समं सर्वेषु भूतेषु तिष्ठन्तं परमेश्वरम् ॥
विनश्यत्स्व् अविनश्यन्तं यः पश्यति स पश्यति ॥
समं पश्यन् हि सर्वत्र समवस्थितम् ईश्वरम् ॥
न हिनस्त्य् आत्मनात्मानं ततो याति परां गतिम् ॥

Translation

"Some see the Atman within themselves through meditation, others through sankhya-yoga, and others through karma-yoga. Others still, not knowing in this way, worship having heard it from others; even they, devoted to what they have heard, cross over death. Whatever being comes into existence, unmoving or moving, know, O best of the Bharatas, that it is born from the union of the field and the knower of the field. He who sees the supreme Lord abiding equally in all beings, undecaying among the decaying, truly sees. Seeing the Lord equally present everywhere, one does not injure himself by himself, and therefore attains the highest goal."
