The line is taken from the Isha Upanishad almost verbatim: "who sees all beings in the self, and the self in all beings, does not shrink away" — yas tu sarvani bhutani atmany evanupashyati (6). It is worth citing too the verse that follows there, for it explains why this is said: "for one for whom all beings have become the self of the knower — what bewilderment is there, what grief, for one who sees oneness?" (7). That is, the purpose of this seeing is named as moral: not to shrink away and not to grieve.
The Gita repeats this same passage and adds to it something the Isha does not have; and here it is worth following closely, for the book will go further in one direction, and the Gita in another. The Gita: "one who sees the self in all beings and all beings in the self, joined, looking equally everywhere" (6.29). So far the same. But the next verse: yo mam pashyati sarvatra sarvam cha mayi pashyati, tasyaham na pranashyami sa cha me na pranashyati — "who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, for him I am never lost, and he is never lost to Me" (6.30).
The change here is decisive: from "the self in everything" one has moved to "Me everywhere"; and mutual non-loss is added — that is, a relation, and a mutual one at that. And a verse further: sarva-bhuta-sthitam yo mam bhajaty ekatvam asthitah, "who worships Me, dwelling in all beings, established in oneness" (6.31). Here is a phrase worth remembering: worships, established in oneness. Oneness does not cancel worship; they stand in the same verse.
And finally: "who sees, by likeness to himself, the same everywhere, O Arjuna — whether in pleasure or in suffering — he is honored as the highest yogi" (6.32). Oneness ends in compassion, not in silence.
