Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
जैसे सर्वत्र विचरण करने वाला महान वायु सदा आकाश में स्थित रहता है — वैसे ही समस्त भूत (प्राणी) मुझमें स्थित हैं, ऐसा जान।
English Translation
Just as the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, always rests in space (akasha), so know that all beings rest in Me.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna uses the beautiful analogy of wind and space to explain His relationship with creation. The wind exists within space, moves through space, and is supported by space, yet space is completely unaffected by the wind. Similarly, all beings exist within God's infinite consciousness without limiting or affecting Him in any way. This is simultaneous closeness and transcendence.
