It sounds a lot like monotheism, and perhaps this is what Krishna is arguing, but it is a conceptual framework very much different than the Christian concept of monotheism (the Jewish people did not have a monotheistic view of the world btw). In Book Seven we get the very different Hindu framing of this question in which there is only one ‘god’, if Vishnu can be conceptualized in that category, in but Vishnu is also all the Gods and all the practices, both good and evil, so there is no single god or approach or belief that actually frames Vishnu. In essence, like the different understanding of Sin, our dichotomy of Mono vs Poly theism cannot be applied to Hindu thought.
