Verse 7
Hard VerseThe Yoga of the Vision of the Cosmic Form
O Arjuna, whatever you wish to see, behold at once in this body of Mine! This universal form can show you whatever you now desire to see and whatever you may want to see in the future. Everything — moving and nonmoving — is here completely, in one place.
Context & Meaning
The entire universe — everything that moves and everything that does not — contained in a single body, available for direct perception. This is the answer to every question ever asked about the nature of reality: it is all here, it is all one, it is all the Divine Body. Past, present, and future are simultaneously present.

AdvaitaEkastham — in one place. The entire multiplicity of existence is revealed as residing in a single locus. This is the direct experiential confirmation of the non-dual truth taught in Chapter 10: the one Divine is the substance of all things.
