Shloka 13.28

“He who sees the supreme Lord equally in all beings, undying amidst the dying, sees truly.”
Key Teaching: Seeing the Lord equally in all beings is true vision.
Theme: Guidance, Jnana Yoga, Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, Bhakti Yoga.
Description:
Krishna states that one who sees the supreme Lord equally in all beings, undying amidst the dying, sees truly. This verse, continuing 13.27, addresses Arjuna’s quest (2.9). The themes of guidance, as Krishna emphasizes divine vision, Jnana Yoga, as he highlights discernment, Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, as he points to liberation, and Bhakti Yoga, as he implies divine equality, are central.

In the Mahabharata, Arjuna’s vision (11.9–46) aligns with seeing the Lord, contrasting Duryodhana’s blindness (1.3–11). The teaching aligns with Jnana Yoga (10.8) and Bhakti Yoga (9.34), emphasizing divine equality. Krishna builds on existence (13.27).

Philosophically, the verse promotes equal vision, a theme refined with teachings on divinity (10.8). Arjuna’s path is clarified by seeing the Lord everywhere. The Gita’s focus on Moksha Sannyasa Yoga underscores liberation through vision. The verse connects to teachings on equality (5.18).

Sanjaya’s narration ensures objective clarity. This verse serves as a metaphor for life’s unity, where the Lord pervades. Krishna’s teaching prepares readers to see divinity, aligning with moksha. The vision resonates with Arjuna’s cosmic experience.
