Tapamy aham aham varsham nigrihnamy utsrijami ca, amritam caiva mrityush ca sad asac caham arjuna
I give heat, I withhold and send forth rain. I am immortality and I am also death; I am being and non-being, O Arjuna. The Lord is the totality of all opposites — the principle that underlies all dualities and encompasses the full range of cosmic phenomena.
- •God encompasses all opposites — life and death, being and non-being
- •Natural phenomena like rain and heat are direct expressions of divine will
- •Transcending duality means recognising the Lord in all contrasts
