Arjuna describes Krishna in divine terms. But he significantly adds that Krishna represents knowledge as well as the knowable, which together cover the entire ken of existence and expression.

The visible world is but the object. One’s own within, which imprints the world and experiences it, is the Subject. The object goes together with the subject. Both together complete the entire range of experience, expression and knowledge.
