Bhagavad Gita 4.35

यज्ज्ञात्वा न पुनर्मोहमेवं यास्यसि पाण्डव।येन भूतान्यशेषेण द्रक्ष्यस्यात्मन्यथो मयि॥

yajjñātvā na punarmohamevaṃ yāsyasi pāṇḍava |yena bhūtānyaśeṣeṇa drakṣyasyātmanyatho mayi ||

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.

Having known That, you shall never again be confounded; and, O Arjuna, by the power of that wisdom, you shall see all these people as if they were your own Self, and therefore as Me.

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