CHAPTER 13
The Sphere of Action and Its Knower

बहिरन्तश्च भूतानामचरं चरमेव च।
सूक्ष्मत्वात्तदविज्ञेयं दूरस्थं चान्तिके च तत् ॥15॥

[ “Existing in all animate and inanimate beings, he is both animate and inanimate; he is also unmanifest because he is so subtle, and both distant and close.’’ ]

He is all-pervading, both animate and inanimate, imperceptible because of his fineness, beyond knowing by the mind and the senses, and both close and far away.

अविभक्तं च भूतेषु विभक्तमिव च स्थितम्।
भूतभर्तृं च तज्ज्ञेयं ग्रसिष्णु प्रभविष्णु च ॥16॥

[ “The Supreme Spirit who is worth knowing, and who appears to be different in different beings although he is one and undivided, is the begetter, sustainer, and destroyer of all beings.’’ ]

Both external and inner phenomena have been indicated here: for instance, external birth and inner awakening, external sustenance and inner adherence to the beneficial yog, external change of body and inner dissolution of all, that is, the disintegration of the causes that lead to the generation of beings, and along with this dissolution-access to the identical God. These are all attributes of that Supreme Being.
