Krishna says, "I am the Vedic ritual; sacrifice; oblation offered to the ancestors. I am the medicinal herb; the ๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ง๐ (chant); ๐๐๐ฎ๐ (clarified butter); ๐ผ๐๐ฃ๐ (fire) and the act of offering (9.16). Of this universe, I am the Father; I am also the Mother, the Sustainer, and the grandfather. I am the purifier, the goal of knowledge, the sacred syllable Om. I am the ๐ฬฃ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐, and ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ช๐ง ๐๐๐๐" (9.17).
"I am the ultimate goal, the upholder, Lord, Witness, Abode, Shelter, and Friend. I am Origin, ๐๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ฎ๐ (cosmic end), and the Foundation, Treasure house, and Eternal Seed (9.18). I radiate heat and give or withhold the rain. I am ๐๐ข๐ง๐ช๐ฉ๐๐ข (immortality) as well as ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ช (death). I am the ๐จ๐๐ฉ (real or being) as well as ๐๐จ๐๐ฉ (unreal or illusion)" (9.19).
If the all inclusive existence had to describe itself for our understanding, it would sound like this. The context and words used are of the times when the Gita was given to Arjun.
Krishna earlier told Arjun to understand '๐จ๐๐ฉ' and '๐๐จ๐๐ฉ' (2.16) like the proverbial rope and illusionary snake which is the approach of ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ค๐๐. Now Krishna says that HE is both '๐จ๐๐ฉ' as well as '๐๐จ๐๐ฉ' which is ๐ฝ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ค๐๐. One path to ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ is to attain the ability to separate '๐จ๐๐ฉ' and '๐๐จ๐๐ฉ' and another is to realise that they are both HIM.
These examples help us ascertain that we are on the firm path towards realising ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ as long as we can remember HIM whenever we get a glimpse of any one of these examples. It is as simple as remembering ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ when we see rain; remembering HIM when we see birth as well as death; when we see fire. Essentially, it is developing an attitude to see HIM in everything around us.
