Chapter 6
Sa ca me na pranasyati:—When a devotee sees God everywhere, God also sees him everywhere, because Lord Krsna declares, "However, men approach Me, so do I seek them (viz., carry out their desires)" (Gita 4/11). It means, that when a devotee identifies himself with God, God in His Universal Self, sees him everywhere. Thus, he is never out of His sight.
Now, a question arises, why Lord Krsna says, that the devotee only is never out of His sight when He declares, that none is out of my sight, "I know the beings of the past, the present and the future" (7/26). The answer is, that though none is out of sight of the Lord, the Lord, sees him everywhere, who sees the Lord everywhere. But, for those who have a disinclination for God, and are attached to the world, He is not manifest (Gita 7/25). Because of his disinclination for Him, he also remains out of His sight, Lord Krsna declares, in the twenty-ninth verse of the ninth chapter, "I am equally present in all beings; there is none hateful or dear to Me. But they who worship Me with devotion, are in Me and I also am, in them."
