यथाऽऽकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान्।
तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्युपधारय।।9.6।।
।।9.6।। जैसे सर्वत्र विचरण करने वाली महान् वायु सदा आकाश में स्थित रहती हैं? वैसे ही सम्पूर्ण भूत मुझमें स्थित हैं? ऐसा तुम जानो।।
It has been stated that one thing may abide in another thing; but the attributes of one need not be possessed by the other. This is what Lord Krishna explains with the word vayuh or wind which abides in space as an example of how both the wind and the space are separate andor the source unaffected by each other, in order to show His relationship with the all things in material existence.
