Gita 11.40
नमः पुरस्तादथ पृष्ठतस्ते नमोऽस्तु ते सर्वत एव सर्व।
अनन्तवीर्यामितविक्रमस्त्वं सर्वं समाप्नोषि ततोऽसि सर्वः।।
namaḥ purastād atha pṛṣṭhatas te namo 'stu te sarvata eva sarva ananta-vīryāmita-vikramas tvaṁ sarvaṁ samāpnoṣi tato 'si sarvaḥ
"Salutations to You from in front and from behind! Salutations to You from all sides, O All! Infinite in power and boundless in might, You pervade everything—therefore You are everything."
What This Means:
Bowing from front, back, all sides—because Krishna is everywhere. Infinite power, boundless might, pervading everything—therefore Krishna IS everything.
Going Deeper:
The logic is clear: because You pervade all, You ARE all. Omnipresence implies identity with totality. The form Arjuna sees contains everything; therefore it IS everything.
How To Apply This:
What pervades everything IS everything. This is the basis for seeing the Divine in all. Not just present in things but identical with the totality of things.
