The Yoga of Knowledge and Wisdom

Krishna now reveals His ultimate nature: the source of everything. 'Etad yonīni bhūtāni sarvāṇi'—all beings have their source in these two natures (material and spiritual). 'Ahaṁ kṛtsnasya jagataḥ prabhavaḥ pralayas tathā'—I am the source (prabhava) and dissolution (pralaya) of the entire world. Everything comes from Krishna and returns to Krishna. This verse establishes Krishna as the ultimate source—not just a part of reality, but the source of all reality. Both material and spiritual natures come from Him. This is the culmination of the revelation: Krishna is the source of everything.
