CHAPTER 10
God is the Source of All; to Know Him is to Know All


42 athava bahunai 'tena
kim jnatena lava 'rjuna vistabhya 'ham idam krtsnam ekamsena sthito jagat
(42) But what need is there, 0 Arjuna, for such detailed knowledge by you? I support this entire universe pervading it with a single fraction of Myself ekumgena; by a single fraction. Not that the Divine unity is broken up into fragments. This cosmos is but a partial revelation of the Infinite, is illumined by one ray of His shining light.[1] The transcendent light of the Supreme dwells beyond all this cosmos, beyond time and space
iti . vibhutiyogo nama dasamo 'dhyayah
This is the tenth chapter entitled The Yoga of Manifestation.
