That by which one sees the one indestructible Reality in all beings, not separate in all the separate beings know thou that knowledge to be Sattvic.

The knowledge by which one sees in all beings one imperishable reality, undivided among the divided, know that knowledge to be sattvic.

Sattvic knowledge sees one imperishable reality in all beings, undivided within what appears divided. This is the highest form of understanding described in the chapter. Some traditions read it as seeing a single reality behind all forms, others as seeing the same divine presence or the same kind of self in every being. Either way, it is a vision of unity that does not ignore the variety of the world, but sees through it to what is shared.
