Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 13, Verse 17

Krishna said
अविभक्तं च भूतेषु विभक्तमिव च स्थितम्।भूतभर्तृ च तज्ज्ञेयं ग्रसिष्णु प्रभविष्णु च ॥13.17॥

avibhaktaṃ ca bhūteṣu vibhaktamiva ca sthitambhūtabhartṛ ca tajjñeyaṃ grasiṣṇu prabhaviṣṇu ca

Meaning

Krishna says: it is undivided, yet seems divided among beings. Know it as the one that sustains all beings, and also the one that absorbs and brings them forth.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं: वह अविभाजित है, फिर भी प्राणियों में बँटा हुआ-सा दिखता है। उसे ही सब प्राणियों का पालन करने वाला, उन्हें अपने में समेटने वाला और फिर से उत्पन्न करने वाला जानो।

Practise it today

When you feel 'us versus them' today, at work, online or in traffic, pause and remind yourself that the divisions are on the surface only.

Reflect tonight

Where did you feel divided from others today, and did this reminder soften it?
