6.30 Never lost to me Krishna speaks
यो मां पश्यति सर्वत्र सर्वं च मयि पश्यति
तस्याहं न प्रणश्यामि स च मे न प्रणश्यति
yo māṁ paśhyati sarvatra sarvaṁ cha mayi paśhyati
tasyāhaṁ na praṇaśhyāmi sa cha me na praṇaśhyati
One who sees me everywhere and sees everything in me — I am never lost to that person, nor is that person lost to me.
Explanation
Never lost, in either direction.
One who sees him everywhere and everything in him — I am never lost to that person, nor is that person lost to me.
The symmetry is the point, and it is the same figure as 9.29 and 7.17. The Gita's highest relations are always stated both ways round.
