Śaṅkarācārya's commentary
Having obtained the wisdom imparted by them, you will not be again subject to confusion as you now are. By this wisdom you will also immediately perceive all beings, from Brahmā down to grass, in your own Self. You will then realise that "these beings exist in Me." You will also see them all in Me, Vāsudeva, thus: "And these beings exist in the Supreme Lord"; i.e., you will realise that unity of the individual Soul (Kṣetrajña) and the Īśvara which is so clearly taught in all the Upaniṣads.
