Know that these two are the womb of all beings; thus, I am the source and dissolution of the whole universe.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: know that all beings have their origin in these two natures, Krishna is the origin and the dissolution of the entire universe, tying both the material and animating aspects back to one unified source.

In life: seemingly separate aspects of your life, your body, your habits, your deeper values, aren't actually as disconnected as they might feel day to day.

Teaching: work on treating your material circumstances and your deeper values as connected, not separate, systems, changes in one genuinely affect the other.

Deep Classical Commentary (Bhashya)

Author:
7.6 एतद्योनीनि those of which these two (Prakritis) are the womb? भूतानि beings? सर्वाणि all? इति thus? उपधारय know? अहम् I? कृत्स्नस्य of the whole? जगतः of the world? प्रभवः source? प्रलयः dissolution? तथा also.Commentary These two Natures? the inferior and the superior? are the womb of all beings. As I am the source of these two Prakritis or Natures also? I am the cause of this universe. The whole universe originates from Me and dissolves in Me.In the Brahma Sutras (chapter 1? section 1? aphorism 2) it is said? Janmadyasya yatah meaning that Brahman is that omniscient and omnipotent cause from which proceed the origin? subsistence and dissolution of this world.Just as the mind is the material cause and also the seer (Drashta) for the objects seen in a dream? so also Isvara is the material cause of this world (UpadanaKarana) and also the seer (Drashta). He is also the efficient or the instrumental cause (NimittaKarana). (Cf.XIV.3)
