This is verse 6.29-30 of the Jnaneshwari (Bhavartha-Dipika), the English translation of 13th-century Marathi commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita.—The Dnyaneshwari (Jnaneshwari) brings to light the deeper meaning of the Gita which represents the essence of the Vedic Religion. This is verse 29-30 of the chapter called Dhyana-yoga.

Verse 6.29-30

Verse 6.29:His own self dwelling within all beings, and all beings dwelling within his own self: so does the man see who has his self (steadied) in Yoga, and who looks upon everything with an even eye.

Verse 6.30:Who perceives Me (abiding) everywhere, and perceives everything (abiding) in Me: I do not get lost to him, nor does he get lost to Me. (391)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

The truth is not open to doubt that I dwell in all, as also that all beings live in Me. Soul’s awareness must be turned to grasp this truth, that the world and the Supreme being are one in this way. In fact, Oh Arjuna, one who worships Me, with the feeling of union, evenly seeing Me all alike in all living beings, and in whose heart there dwells no distinction consequent on the superficial distinction between being and being, and who sees my Supreme Self-Essence everywhere, such a person is but Myself. It need not be said that such a one and Myself are but one. The same oneness exists between him and Myself, as exists between the lamp and its light, and he abides in Me as I abide in him. Just as fluidity exists on account of water, or the cavity on account of the sky, in the same way, such a one abides in a form after Mine.
