Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 9: The Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret

Bhagavad Gita 9.6

यथाकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान् । तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्युपधारय ॥

yathākāśasthito nityaṃ vāyuḥ sarvatrago mahān | tathā sarvāṇi bhūtāni matsthānītyupadhāraya ||

As the mighty wind, moving everywhere, always rests in space, so, you should understand, all beings rest in me.

Modern context

To make the puzzle easier, Krishna gives an image. The wind blows everywhere, strong and restless, yet it is always within space. Space does not move with the wind, and is not disturbed by it. All beings, with their constant activity, are like the wind; the divine is like the space they move in. Our own restless activity happens within a stillness that our activity cannot disturb.
