He knew: "Truly I am creation, for I have created all this." Thus he became Creation. He who knows thus comes to be in this creation of his.

The chase ends in a recognition: "I am creation itself" (ahaṁ vāva sṛṣṭir asmi). The creator did not remain outside what he had made, as a craftsman outside his article: he himself "became Creation" — the world is he in a state of outpouring. Between God and the universe there is no seam: sṛṣṭi is not a thing made by him but he himself, poured out.
Hence the world deserves neither contempt nor worship of itself, but reverence for the One who fills it. "All this is pervaded by Me in my unmanifest form" (BG 9.4); the knower "comes to be in this creation of his" — he begins to live within God's outpouring, like a fish that has learned that the water is its own.
