Yo Mam Pashyati Sarvatra

Gita 6.30 Bhagavad Gita
📖 Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6 — Atma Samyama Yoga
यो मां पश्यति सर्वत्र सर्वं च मयि पश्यति ।
तस्याहं न प्रणश्यामि स च मे न प्रणश्यति ॥
Yo mam pashyati sarvatra sarvam cha mayi pashyati
Tasyaham na pranashyami sa cha me na pranashyati
यः माम् पश्यति सर्वत्र
who sees Me everywhere
सर्वम् च मयि पश्यति
and sees everything in Me
तस्य अहम् न प्रणश्यामि
for that person, I am never lost
स च मे न प्रणश्यति
and that person is never lost to Me

Krishna speaks here with extraordinary tenderness. Whoever sees Me in everything — in rain, in a child's laughter, in a stranger's kindness — and sees everything resting in Me, that person and I are never separated. I do not vanish from them. They do not vanish from Me.

Notice the symmetry. It is not one-sided devotion. It is a mutual bond. The devotee holds on to Krishna, and Krishna holds on to the devotee. Neither lets go. This is not a contract or a bargain. It is the simplest description of what love between the seeker and the Divine looks like.

The previous shloka (6.29) spoke of seeing the Self in all beings — a philosophical vision. Here Krishna makes it personal: see Me. Not an abstract principle. Me. The shift from philosophy to relationship is quiet but unmistakable.

Shlokas 6.29 and 6.30 present the same truth from two angles. In 6.29, the language is jnana (knowledge): seeing the Self everywhere. In 6.30, the language is bhakti (devotion): seeing Krishna everywhere. The Gita holds both paths side by side.

In Chapter 9, shloka 4, Krishna will say 'maya tatam idam sarvam' — all this is pervaded by Me. Shloka 6.30 is an early glimpse of that teaching.
