Frequently asked
What does Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 Verse 30 mean?
It means that one who sees Krishna present in everything, and everything held within Krishna, can never be separated from him. The relationship is mutual and unbreakable. Krishna does not say such a person will be rewarded later; he says the loss simply cannot happen, in either direction, ever.
What is the meaning of yo mam pashyati sarvatra?
Whoever sees me everywhere. Not a belief held about the world, but a way of looking at it — the recognition that no place, no person, no ordinary hour is empty of Krishna. The second half completes it: everything is also held within him. Seeing outward and seeing inward turn out to be one seeing.
How can I actually see Krishna everywhere in daily life?
Chapter six spends twenty-nine verses on the answer: a steadied seat, a quieted mind, senses no longer dragging you outward. The seeing is not manufactured by effort; it becomes possible when the noise drops. Begin where you are — with what is in front of you, looked at without hurry.
Does this verse mean I can never fall away from Krishna?
It means the connection is not yours to break. Krishna states it from both sides — he is not lost to you, you are not lost to him. Moods will come and go, and practice will falter. What holds is not the steadiness of your attention but the fact of his presence in all of it.

Commentary
Losing and being lost — Krishna puts the whole teaching in those terms. Not reward, not merit. Presence. Arjuna has spent this chapter learning to steady the mind, to sit, to breathe, to withdraw. Here is what the steadiness is for: a seeing that does not stop at the surface of things. Everywhere, and everything within. And then the promise, stated twice because it runs both ways — I am never lost to them, nor they to me. You have been afraid of losing what you love. This verse says the seeing itself is the holding, and it does not slip.
