Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18.20

sarva-bhūteṣu yenaikaḿ

bhāvam avyayam īkṣate

avibhaktaḿ vibhakteṣu

taj jñānaḿ viddhi sāttvikam

Translation

That knowledge by which one undivided spiritual nature is seen in all living entities, though they are divided into innumerable forms, you should understand to be in the mode of goodness.

Author Name:-Sri Ramanuja

Purport

Sri Ramanuja

18.20 The self (Atman), which is of the form of knowledge, is alike and uniform, though distinct, in all beings, even though they may externally, and from the point of view of duty, be distinguished as Brahmanas, Ksatriyas, householders, celibates, fair, tall etc. The immutable selves in all these perishing forms or bodies are unaffected by the fruits of actions. Such knowledge of the immutability of the self in all changing beings, is Sattvika.

18.20 Viddhi, know; tat, that; jnanam, knowledge, realization of the Self as non-dual, complete realization; to be sattvikam, originating from sattva; yena, through which knowledge; iksate, one sees; ekam, a single; avyayam, undecaying-that which does not undergo mutation either in itself or by the mutation of its qualities-‘ i.e. eternal and immutable; bhavam, Entity-the word bhava is used to imply an entity-, i.e. the single Reality which is the Self; sarvabhutesu, in all things, in all things begining from the Unmanifest to the unmoving things; and through which knowledge one sees that Entity to be avibhaktam, undivided; in every body, vibhaktesu, in all the deversified things, in the different bodies. The idea is: that Reality which is the Self remains, like Space, undivided. Being based on rajas and tamas, those that are the dualistic philosophies are incomplete, and hence are not by themselves adequate for the eradication of worldly existence.

Purport

Sri Madhvacharya

The single reality pervading all existence is the Supreme Lord Krishna the creator, maintainer and energiser of all existence. All creation is situated within Him and He is also within every atom of creation. Living entities in the state of bondage or liberation, they are all under His jurisdiction but those who have achieved moksa or liberation from material existence are promoted to the eternal spiritual worlds. The Supreme Lord although manifesting and residing within unlimited variegated forms simultaneously in an all pervading way; yet He distinctly separate from every jiva or embodied being of all gradations. Those jivas whose gradation is material such as trees are distinct unique amongst themselves such as Palm trees, mango trees, apple trees, etc. which although manifesting from the Supreme Lord’s potencies are all distinctly different from the Supreme Lord. This is the knowledge of distinctive characteristics and when developed into wisdom is situated in sattva guna the mode of goodness from whence arises moksa.
