Verse 7.26

Verse 7.26: “I know the beings that have been (in the past), and that are (now) in existence, O Arjuna, as also those that are yet to be: nobody, however, has (any) knowledge of Me. (161)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Whatever beings lived in the past, had become one with My own being and those too that are at present, live also in My being and those that will be born in future, will not be outside Me. All this however is mere talk, nothing really comes into being nor does anything cease to be. Just as no one can tell truly if a rope (taken through illusion as a serpent) is either of a dark or gray or reddish colour, even so is the separate being of living creatures, false and unreal. In this way, O son of Pandu, I am eternally and entirely the truth that pervades all beings; yet how does the cycle of their coming, and passing away occur is a different tale in a manner of speaking. I shall now relate that story briefly, listen.
