VI.29:
One who has his/her mind Self-absorbed through Yoga, and who has
the vision of sameness everywhere, sees his Self existing in everything,
and everything in his Self.
VI.30:
One who sees Me in everything, and sees all things in Me - I do not
go out of his/her vision, and he/she also is not lost to My vision.
VI.31:
That yogi who, being established in unity, adores Me as existing
in all things, he/she exists in Me -- in whatever condition he/she may
be.

Summary
of this lecture:
A person who has realized God will see the Self in all beings, and all
beings in the Self. The great sages like Jesus and Buddha are all-loving
because they recognize the Oneness in all beings. The skeptic might
point to differences in individual appearances as a proof that we are
not all the Self. But the body is not the Self; likewise the mind is
not the
Self. The spiritual aspirant should direct all actions towards this
goal of seeing the Self in all. When a person sees the Sameness in all
things, all hatred, anger, and blaming will vanish. Thus, this person
sees all as Brahman; he loves all beings without expectation or
conditions. The one who practices this can experience REAL love because
he cares not whether the love is returned or appreciated. The love we
have for our families and partners is not this real, unconditional love,
since we see that our love turns to hatred when we feel wronged by these
people. The aspirant who sees the Self in all--whether he is a monk
or a householder--never loses sight of God, and God never loses sight
of him either.
