yaccāpi sarva bhūtānāṃ bījaṃ tad aham arjuna |
na tadasti vinā yat syān mayā bhūtaṃ carācaram || 39 ||

39. Whatever is the essence of all beings, O Arjuna, I am that. There is nothing mobile or immobile
that can exist without Me.

Commentary

In whatever condition any being may exist, whether perceptible or not, I alone am the root cause of that state. There is not a single category of existing thing that can exist without Me as its Over-Self. In the statement — ‘Nothing that moves or does not move exists without Me’, it is reaffirmed that the Lord exists as the Self, just as He said in the beginning:— ‘I am the Self, seated in the hearts of all beings’ [1]. The purport is that the entire host of entities in every state of being, is connected to Me, as their Over-Self. By this Krishna clarifies that His being the Self of all things, is the basis for the doctrine of coordinate predication — the doctrine that all words ultimately refer to Him alone.
