Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
और (वास्तव में) सब भूत (प्राणी) मुझमें स्थित नहीं हैं — मेरी ईश्वरी योगशक्ति को देख! मेरा आत्मा भूतों को धारण करने वाला, भूतों को उत्पन्न करने वाला है, परन्तु भूतों में स्थित नहीं है।
English Translation
And yet beings do not dwell in Me — behold My divine Yoga (supreme power)! My Self is the source and sustainer of all beings, yet I do not dwell in them.
Commentary (टीका)
Having said all beings exist in Him, Krishna now says they do not — this is not a contradiction but a revelation of the mystery of divine transcendence. God's relationship with creation is unlike any material relationship. He is not physically contained in beings like water in a pot. His divine Yoga (Yogam Aishvaram) operates beyond the logic of material causation.
