O Arjuna, now behold the entire creation; animate, inanimate, and whatever else you like to see; all at one place in My body.
Know Me to be the creator of all creation.
Knowing that, O Arjuna, you shall not again get deluded like this. By this knowledge you shall behold the entire creation in your own Self/Lord, or in Brahman.
But great souls, who possess divine qualities know Me as the cause of creation and imperishable, and worship Me single-mindedly.
Having hands and feet everywhere; having eyes, head, and face everywhere; having ears everywhere; the creator exists in the creation by pervading everything.
Thus the creation as well as the knowledge and the object of knowledge have been briefly described. Understanding this, My devotee attains Me.
The one who does not help to keep the wheel of creation in motion by sacrificial duty, and who rejoices in sense pleasures, that sinful person lives in vain.
These acts of creation do not bind Me, O Arjuna, because I remain indifferent and unattached to those acts.
Those who have taken refuge in this knowledge attain unity with Me, and are neither born at the time of creation nor afflicted at the time of dissolution.
The nature, under My supervision, creates all animate and inanimate objects; and thus the creation keeps on going.
The true understanding of both the creator and the creation is considered by Me to be the transcendental or metaphysical knowledge.
What the creation is, what it is like, what its transformations are, where the source is, who that creator is, and what His powers are, hear all these from Me in brief.
