Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 8: The Imperishable Absolute

Bhagavad Gita 8.22

पुरुषः स परः पार्थ भक्त्या लभ्यस्त्वनन्यया । यस्यान्तःस्थानि भूतानि येन सर्वमिदं ततम् ॥

puruṣaḥ sa paraḥ pārtha bhaktyā labhyastvananyayā | yasyāntaḥsthāni bhūtāni yena sarvamidaṃ tatam ||

That supreme Person, Arjuna, in whom all beings dwell and by whom all this is pervaded, can be reached through undivided devotion.

Modern context

After the vast cosmic picture, the way to the highest is made surprisingly simple: undivided devotion. Not cosmology, not elaborate technique, but love that is not split between many things. The one reached in this way is described as both container and content: all beings are within him, and he runs through all of them. Devotion is the right response to that, because it is the one way of relating that involves the whole person.
