Explanation
This whole world is pervaded by me in my unmanifest form. All beings exist in me, but I do not dwell in them.
A deliberate paradox: everything rests in God, yet God is not contained or limited by anything. Like space holding all things while remaining untouched, the Divine supports the world without being bound by it.
भावार्थ
यह सारा जगत् मेरे अव्यक्त स्वरूप से व्याप्त है; सब प्राणी मुझमें स्थित हैं, परन्तु मैं उनमें स्थित नहीं हूँ।
Living it today
See the world as resting in the Divine — it brings both reverence for everything and freedom from clinging to anything.
