In this profound proclamation, Krishna invites Arjuna to look past the superficial flux of the material world and recognize the singular, unchanging substratum beneath it. By identifying Himself as the 'womb' or source (yoni) of all beings, He is defining the relationship between the Absolute (Brahman) and the relative universe. This is not merely an assertion of creation but an invitation to realize that the totality of existence—every atom, every soul, and every experience—is essentially an expression of His divine nature. Just as waves are not separate from the ocean, the manifest universe is not separate from the Divine; it is a temporary crystallization of the Infinite consciousness appearing as diversity through the play of His energies. Krishna is directing Arjuna's vision toward the underlying Unity that remains untouched by the cycles of birth and death. The act of 'upadhāraya' (to hold or realize) here implies an intellectual conviction that must ripen into meditative experience. It is the shift from seeing the world as a collection of fragmented objects to seeing it as the vibrant, breathing body of the Divine. By acknowledging Krishna as the source (prabhava) and the destination (pralaya), the seeker is freed from the fear of change, as they come to perceive that the 'end' of any form is simply a return to its original, unmanifest essence.

All existence is an inseparable manifestation of the Divine, where the manifold universe emerges from and dissolves back into the singular consciousness of the Absolute.
