Objaśnienie

Brahman is undivided, yet it seems divided, as if present separately in each being. Many readers compare this to space, which seems divided by the walls of different rooms while remaining one. Brahman is also named in three roles: the one who supports beings, the one who absorbs them, and the one who brings them forth. These match the cycle of sustaining, dissolving and creating that appears throughout the Gita. The devouring role recalls the vision of the previous chapters, now described in calm philosophical terms rather than in images of fire and teeth.
