The non-existent does not exist, nor the existent ceases; the nature of both is discerned by seers of truth.
Arjuna, listen, I shall now talk of another matter, which those who think know well. (121-125) (All philosophers acknowledge that)
Latent in these conditioning factors, there is an all - pervading Self. Even when milk is thoroughly mixed with water. the swan separates them from each other, or one (the goldsmith) segregates the pure gold by heating the alloy (in a crucible), or one takes out butter skilfully by churning the curds, or one separates, by winnowing. the grain from the chaff (126-130); so when the wise cogitate upon the creation, the world disappears and there remains only the Self. Therefore, they do not ascribe existence to the transient things, as they have already determined the essence of both.

more thoughts; to what is stated ?why?.. it is simply stated: as for other versions ; that would just be restating the same statement with different words would it not?
