Translator:
Knowing that thou shalt not, O Arjuna, again be deluded like this; and by that thou shalt see all beings in thyself and also in me.
A Reading - Rantideb
Why: having known this, you will not again fall into delusion, you will see all beings in yourself and in Krishna, promising that real understanding produces a shift in how you see everyone else, not just abstract clarity.
In life: genuine insight into your own nature tends to make you see other people's struggles as more familiar and less foreign than before.
Teaching: after a period of real personal insight, check whether your empathy toward others actually widened, that's a good sign the insight was real rather than merely intellectual.

Deep Classical Commentary (Bhashya)
Author:
4.35 यत् which? ज्ञात्वा having known? न not? पुनः again? मोहम् delusion? एवम् thus? यास्यसि will get? पाण्डव O Pandava? येन by this? भूतानि beings? अशेषेण all? द्रक्ष्यसि (thou) shalt see? आत्मनि in (thy) Self? अथो also? मयि in Me.Commentary That? the knowledge of the Self mentioned in the previous verse? that is to be learnt from the Brahmanishtha Guru through prostration? estioning and service. When you acire this knowledge you will not be again subject to confusion or error. You will behold that underlying basic unity. You will behold or directly cognise through internal experience or intuition that all beings from the Creator down to a blade of grass exist in your own Self and also in Me. (Cf.IX.15XVIII.20)
