Sanskrit Original
।।6.31।।एतदेव स्पष्टयति सर्वभूतस्थितमिति। एकत्वमास्थितः सर्वत्र एक एवेश्वर इति स्थितः सर्वप्रकारेण वर्तमानोऽपि मय्येव वर्तते। एवमपरोक्षं पश्यतो ज्ञानफलं नियतमित्यर्थः। तथापि प्रायो नाधर्मं करोति कुर्वतस्तु महच्चेद्दुःखसूचकं भवतीत्युक्तं पुरस्तात्। आह चकदाचिदपि नाधर्मे बुद्दिर्विष्णुदृशां भवेत्। प्रमादात्तु कृतं पापं स्वल्पं भस्मीभविष्यति। आदिराजैस्तथा देर्वैः ऋषिभिः क्रियते कियत्। बाहुल्यात्कर्मणस्तेषां दुःखसूचकमेव तत् इति।
This makes plain that the Self is present in all beings. Though distinct, the Lord abides everywhere as the One; He pervades all modes yet remains present with Me alone. Thus the fruit of knowledge is said to be certain when one realizes Him directly. Yet generally one will not cease from unrighteous acts; if he continues to do them, they indicate great suffering. Even a little unrighteousness in one with vision toward Vishnu is said to be blameworthy. For sin committed from carelessness will soon be consumed. How much more so when performed by mighty kings, gods, or sages — the multiplicity of their acts only signals greater pain.
