Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18, Verse 20 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eighteenth chapter, Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, Krishna analyses knowledge, action and the doer according to the three modes of nature. Describing the threefold division of knowledge, He declares this highest, sattvic knowledge: the wisdom that perceives the one undivided, imperishable Reality present in all beings.

As told in scripture

The sages hold that one who truly sees the same imperishable Self in all beings rises above all hatred and fear, for in that vision of unity there is no other to harm or to be harmed — only the one divine Reality shining everywhere.
