Detailed Meaning
Shree Krishna identifies Himself as the 'bījam' or the generating seed of all existence. In Vedantic philosophy, this signifies that He is both the 'Nimitta Karana' (Efficient Cause/The Creator) and the 'Upadana Karana' (Material Cause/The substance of creation). He encompasses all four categories of life: Aṇḍaj (egg-born), Jarāyuj (womb-born), Swedaj (sweat-born), and Udbhij (earth-born). By stating that nothing 'moving or non-moving' (carācaram) exists without Him, He emphasizes His omnipresence and the absolute dependence of the cosmos on His divine energy.
