Translation

Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being – moving or nonmoving – that can exist without Me.

Je suis en outre, ô Arjuna, la semence de tout ce qui existe. Aucun être mobile ou immobile ne saurait exister sans Moi.

Everything has a cause, and that cause or seed of manifestation is Kṛṣṇa. Without Kṛṣṇa’s energy, nothing can exist; therefore He is called omnipotent. Without His potency, neither the movable nor the immovable can exist. Whatever existence is not founded on the energy of Kṛṣṇa is called māyā, “that which is not.”

Tout a une cause, et cette cause, cette semence de toute manifestation, est Kṛṣṇa. Rien ne peut exister sans Son énergie, c’est pourquoi on Le dit omnipotent. Sans Sa puissance, aucun être vivant, qu’il soit mobile ou immobile, ne pourrait exister. De fait, toute existence non fondée sur l’énergie de Kṛṣṇa est « māyā », ou « ce qui n’est pas ».
