Bhagavad Gita 9.5
न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् | भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः ||
na ca mat-sthāni bhūtāni paśya me yogam aiśvaram | bhūta-bhṛn na ca bhūta-stho mamātmā bhūta-bhāvanaḥ ||
Translation
And yet beings do not rest in me. Behold my sovereign yoga. My self sustains beings, yet does not abide in them, and is the source of beings.
Reflection
Where does ordinary spatial logic break down in your experience?
Read this verse in its chapter: Chapter Nine
Now the harder statement. The beings do not stand in Him either. He sustains them, He produces them, but He is not lodged inside them as one thing inside another. Krishna calls this His sovereign yoga and tells Arjuna to look at it. The pairing of the previous verse with this one rules out both naive immanence and naive transcendence. He is not inside the world the way water is inside a jar, and the world is not inside Him the way fish are inside the sea. The relation is closer than either of those analogies and ruled by His freedom rather than by spatial logic. The listener is not asked to resolve the paradox. He is asked to behold it.
