Yathakasha-sthito nityam vayuh sarvatra-go mahan, tatha sarvani bhutani mat-sthanity upadharaya
Just as the mighty wind, moving everywhere, ever rests in the sky, so know that all beings rest in Me. The analogy of wind and sky illustrates how the Lord holds all existence within Himself without being touched or limited by that existence.
- •All creation dwells in God as wind dwells in the sky
- •God is the substratum of all that exists
- •Diversity of creation does not diminish divine unity
Yatha sarva-gatam saukshymyad akasham nopalipyate, sarvatravastito dehe tathatma nopalipyate
As the all-pervading sky, due to its subtlety, is never contaminated, similarly the Self, situated everywhere in the body, is never contaminated. Just as space remains pure despite pervading all objects, so too the soul remains untainted in all conditions.
- •The soul, like space, is untainted by what it pervades
- •Subtlety of the Self protects it from contamination
- •Purity of the soul is its inherent and unlosable nature
