Wherever life is seen in things, both moving and stationary, know that it is through this combination of the field and its knower. One who sees the supreme imperishable self in all beings is the one who truly sees. Seeing the supreme self in all things, they do not injure the self by the self, attaining the highest goal. One who knows the truth understands that it is only the law of nature that brings action to fruition, and that the self is never the one that acts. One who perceives the diverse forms of life rooted in one place, and their expansion from there alone, will certainly attain Brahman.
