intermediate
एको देवः सर्वभूतेषु गूढः सर्वव्यापी सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा। कर्माध्यक्षः सर्वभूताधिवासः साक्षी चेता केवलो निर्गुणश्च॥
eko devaḥ sarvabhūteṣu gūḍhaḥ sarvavyāpī sarvabhūtāntarātmā | karmādhyakṣaḥ sarvabhūtādhivāsaḥ sākṣī cetā kevalo nirguṇaśca ||
"The one God, hidden in all beings, all-pervading, the inner Self of all beings, the overseer of action, dwelling in all beings, the witness, the pure consciousness, alone, and without qualities."
What This Means:
One God is hidden in all beings - pervading all, the inner Self, the karma-overseer, dwelling everywhere, the witness, pure awareness, alone, without qualities.
Going Deeper:
This verse (repeated from 4.11) emphasizes the key divine attributes for liberation: hidden (requiring discovery), witnessing (unchanging), nirguna (beyond qualities).
How To Apply This:
Meditate on these divine attributes: hidden, witnessing, attributeless. Seek this One in all beings.
