bhūta

अक्षरं ब्रह्म परमं स्वभावोऽध्यात्ममुच्यते

bhūta-bhāva-udbhava-karaḥ — Actions pertaining to the material personality of living beings, and its development

The imperishable is the highest Brahman. One's own nature is called the self. The bringing forth of beings and their states is called action.

भूतग्रामः स एवायं भूत्वा भूत्वा प्रलीयते

bhūta-grāmaḥ — the multitude of beings

This same multitude of beings comes into being again and again, and again and again dissolves, helplessly, at the coming of night.

न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम्

bhūtāni — all living beings

And yet beings do not rest in me. Look at my mastery: I sustain all beings, and I am not in them.

प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः

bhūta-grāmam — myriad forms

Presiding over my own nature, I bring forth this whole multitude of beings again and again, helplessly, by the working of that nature.

अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुमाश्रितम्

bhūta — all beings

The dim-witted disregard me, having taken on a human form — not knowing my higher nature, the great lord of beings.

महात्मानस्तु मां पार्थ दैवीं प्रकृतिमाश्रिताः

bhūta — all creation

But the great-souled, son of Pritha, having taken refuge in the divine nature, worship me with a mind turned nowhere else, knowing me as the imperishable origin of all beings.

यान्ति देवव्रता देवान् पितृ़न्यान्ति पितृव्रताः

bhūtāni — to the ghosts

Those devoted to the gods go to the gods; to the ancestors, to the ancestors; to the spirits, to the spirits. Those who make their offering to me come to me.

स्वयमेवात्मनाऽत्मानं वेत्थ त्वं पुरुषोत्तम

bhūta-bhāvana — the Creator of all beings

You alone know yourself by yourself, highest person, source of beings, lord of beings, god of gods, ruler of the world.

यच्चापि सर्वभूतानां बीजं तदहमर्जुन

bhūtam — creature

And whatever is the seed of all beings, that am I, Arjuna. There is nothing that moves or does not move that exists without me.

अविभक्तं च भूतेषु विभक्तमिव च स्थितम्

bhūteṣhu — amongst living beings

Undivided among beings, and yet standing as if divided; the sustainer of beings, and their devourer and their maker.

यदा भूतपृथग्भावमेकस्थमनुपश्यति

bhūta — living entities

When one sees that the separate states of beings rest in one, and spread out from that one, then one reaches the highest.

क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञयोरेवमन्तरं ज्ञानचक्षुषा

bhūta — the living entity

Those who see with the eye of knowledge the difference between the field and its knower, and the freeing of beings from nature, reach the highest.

द्वौ भूतसर्गौ लोकेऽस्मिन् दैव आसुर एव च

bhūta-sargau — of created living beings

There are two kinds of beings brought forth in this world, the divine and the other. The divine I have described at length; hear now of the other.

कर्षयन्तः शरीरस्थं भूतग्राममचेतसः

bhūta-grāmam — elements of the body

tormenting the elements of the body, senseless — know their resolve to be of the other nature. They torment me, who dwell within them.
