Śaṅkarācārya's commentary
He who sees Me, Vāsudeva, the Self of all, in all beings, and who sees Brahmā the Creator and all other beings in Me, the Self of all — when he has thus seen the unity of the Self, I — who am the Īśvara — never leave his presence, nor does that wise man leave My presence; for his Self and Mine are one, and one's own Self cannot but be manifest to oneself.
