"Know that through lucid knowledge one sees in all creatures a single, unchanging existence, undivided within its divisions" (138, 20).
I had a lot of trouble understanding this passage. In particular, I don't understand what Krishna means when he says that the single, unchanging existence is "undivided within its divisions". In general terms, Krishna seems to be referring to the divine, pervasive essence of the infinite spirit. In fact, the notion of something that is united yet has divisions remains me of our recent discussion topic in Christian Theological Traditions: the Trinity. Is Krishna simply trying to say that in spite of their physical separation, all existing things are one in so far as they contain some part of the divine essence of the infinite spirit?
