Verse 6
The Yoga of Knowledge and Realization
All created beings have their source in these two natures. Of all that is material and all that is spiritual in this world, know for certain that I am both the origin and the dissolution.
Context & Meaning
All beings arise from the union of the higher and lower energies of the Divine. And what arises from Him, returns to Him. Krishna is the womb of creation and the sea into which everything dissolves — the Alpha and the Omega.
