With a pure heart the jñānī should see the complete form of Paramātmā, within all beings and also within oneself, present both externally and internally, just like the ether spreads everywhere without being contaminated. Having described the activities of those who take shelter of bhakti, the Lord now describes the activities of persons who take shelter of jñāna in eight verses. He should see me uncovered (apāvṛtam), in full form. The subject of the verb is jñānam āśritaḥ, one who has taken shelter of jñāna. This appears in the next verse. He should see Paramātmā (ātmānam) in himself, just as ether is everywhere but uncontaminated.
