Translation
One who has completely fixed his mind on Me should see Me within his own soul and should see the individual soul within Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus, he sees the individual souls united with the Supreme Soul, just as one sees the sun’s rays completely united with the sun.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
One who is completely fixed in samādhi should see Brahman in the jīva and the jīva joined with Brahman, just a particle of light joins with the light.
This person becomes absorbed in meditation. Engaging his mind in samādhi, he sees me, Brahman, in the jīva. And sees the jīva joined in me. Light is joined with light. This refers to Brahman, the complete spiritual light of the Lord, and to the jīva who is a particle of that light.
Purport
In the spiritual world everything is naturally effulgent because that is the nature of spirit. Thus when one sees the individual soul as part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, the experience can be compared to seeing the sun’s rays emanating from the sun. The Supreme Lord is within the living entity, and simultaneously the living entity is within the Lord. But in both cases the Supreme Lord, and not the living entity, is the maintainer and controller. How happy everyone could be by taking to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and finding the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa, within everything and everything within Kṛṣṇa. Liberated life in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is so pleasurable that the greatest misfortune is to be without such consciousness. Śrī Kṛṣṇa is kindly explaining in many different ways the supremacy of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and fortunate persons will understand the sincere message of the Lord.
