Explanation
Krishna draws an ethical consequence from the vision just described. One who sees the lord equally present everywhere does not injure the self by the self, and so reaches the highest goal. The phrase has been read in two complementary ways. It may mean that such a person does not degrade their own true self through ignorance and wrongdoing. It may also mean that, seeing the same self in others, they cannot harm others without harming themselves. Either way, right seeing leads to right living, and both lead to freedom.
