"Arming himself with discipline,/seeing everything with an equal eye,/he sees the self in all creatures/and all creatures in the self. He who sees me everywhere/and sees everything in me/will not be lost to me,/and I will not be lost to him."

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Discipline - Krishna further educates that the needs of Arjuna can be controlled by the exercise of yoga. Through teaching yourself to "let go" emotionally from things, you will accomplish an unity and an equilibrium which can not be achieved with feelings.

See me everywhere - In everything Krishna lives
