Bhagavad Gita 13.30

यदा भूतपृथग्भावमेकस्थमनुपश्यति।तत एव च विस्तारं ब्रह्म सम्पद्यते तदा॥

yadā bhūtapṛthagbhāvamekasthamanupaśyati |tata eva ca vistāraṃ brahma sampadyate tadā ||

When a person sees all beings as resting in the One and emanating from the One alone, they then become Brahman.

Translation by Swami Sivananda · Public domain in India (translator d. 1963)

He who sees the diverse forms of life all rooted in One and growing forth from Him, shall indeed find the Absolute.

Translation by Shri Purohit Swami · Public domain in India (translator d. 1941)
