Explanation

All beings, Krishna says, arise from these two natures together, matter and the living principle. He himself is the origin of the entire world and also its dissolution. The verse places Krishna above both natures as the one from whom everything comes and into whom everything returns. It moves the dialogue from the analysis of the world's components to a statement about its source. For Arjuna, the charioteer beside him is now revealed as the ground of all that exists.
