Commentary

The 'striving Yogis' are those who strive in the practice of Karma, Jñana and Bhakti Yoga, after taking refuge in Krishna.

Thus, the Jīvātman, both in the liberated and confined phases [of its being] is a manifestation of the glory (Vibhuti) of the Lord. Its light of consciousness illuminates even the luminaries such as the sun, moon and fire which facilitate the seeing process by removing the darkness that prevents the contact of the eye with objects. Now, Sri Krishna declares that even the light of the sun and other luminaries are also in fact Divine Forces.

yadādityagataṃ tejo jagad bhāsayate’khilam |
yaccandramasi yaccāgnau tat tejo viddhi māmakam || 12 ||

12. That light that is in the sun which illumines the whole universe, and that which is in the moon
and in fire, know that light to be Mine.
