बहिरन्तश्च भूतानामचरं चरमेव च । सूक्ष्मत्वात्तदविज्ञेयं दूरस्थं चान्तिके च तत्॥ 13:15॥
बहिः अन्तः च भूतानाम्, अचरम् चरम् एव च, सूक्ष्मत्वात् तत् अ-वि-ज्ञेयम्, दूरस्थम् च अन्तिके च तत्।।
भूतानाम् (सभी भूतों का) बहिः (बाहर) अन्तः (अंदर) च (और) चरम् (चल) अचरम् (अचल) एव (भी) च (और) तत् (वह) सूक्ष्मत्वात् (सूक्ष्मता के कारण) अ-वि-ज्ञेयम् (अज्ञेय) च (और) अन्तिके (निकट) च (और) दूरस्थम् (दूरस्थ) तत् (वही है)।
Hindi
सब जीवों के बाहर-भीतर और चर-अचर-रूप भी वही हैं, वह सूक्ष्म होने से सटीक तौर पर और विशेष रूप से जानने में कठिन हैं, तथा अति समीप में और दूर में भी स्थित वही हैं।
English
He is outside all beings and also inside them {as their soul}. He is the Unmoving (inert) and the Moving (animate). He is too subtle to be precisely known, simultaneously distant and intimately close. (13:15)
Hindi
ब्रह्म को 'अविज्ञेय' कहा, अर्थात वे विशेष रूप से और सटीक रूप से जानने-योग्य नहीं हैं। लेकिन यह नहीं कहा गया कि वे बिलकुल ही जानने-योग्य नहीं हैं। वे सामान्य रूप से ज्ञेय हैं—यह अगले श्लोक में बताया गया है।

Everything in the universe represents a transformation or manifestation of God’s existence, and it’s possible that certain modes of His existence may be more fundamental or real than others. This concept can be likened to the human experience, where a dream is also considered a mode of existence, albeit temporary and not entirely “true” or real in the same way as waking reality. In both cases, the idea underscores the multifaceted and intricate nature of reality, where different levels of existence and consciousness coexist within the divine framework. This verse, particularly the last part, highlights the concepts of both the transcendence and immanence of God. In some Faith traditions, God is considered Transcendent, existing far beyond human reach, and from there, He listens to our prayers. However, the Bhagavad-Gitā presents a different perspective, asserting that God is both Transcendent and Immanent. The idea of God’s indwelling presence is not universal and may be unfamiliar to some world religions. The Bhagavad-Gitā emphasizes that God is not only distant and beyond, but also immanently present within all beings, including the hearts of individuals. This concept underscores the intimate connection between the individual soul (Atman) and the Supreme Soul (Paramatman), emphasizing that God is not only a remote deity but also an inner reality that can be experienced directly through devotion, meditation, and Self-realization.
