Sanskrit
समं सर्वेषु भूतेषु तिष्ठन्तं परमेश्वरम् । विनश्यत्स्वविनश्यन्तं यः पश्यति स पश्यति ॥
samaṃ sarveṣu bhūteṣu tiṣṭhantaṃ parameśvaram vinaśyatsv avinaśyantaṃ yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati
Translation
Seated equally in all beings, the supreme Lord, unperishing within the perishing—he who thus seeth, he seeth.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
The first of a three-verse sequence (28-30) that each ends on some form of “he sees” — a refrain marking these as the chapter’s payoff verses, cashing out the preceding metaphysics as a way of actually perceiving the world. Seeing the imperishable Lord “equally” present within beings that are themselves perishing is the specific content of that seeing: sameness underneath difference, not a denial that bodies decay.
