In plain words
You are trying to understand everything, control everything, know everything—and it's exhausting you. Krishna says: you don't need to figure it all out. There is a presence holding you right now, sustaining you, carrying you through this confusion and pain—and it's asking nothing from you except to stop wrestling and trust. Let go of needing to see the whole picture. You are already held.
Word by Word
Krishna reveals the ultimate paradox of existence: infinite vastness contained within infinite smallness. He sustains all creation with merely a fraction of His being, while the rest of His infinite nature remains beyond manifestation—this is the mystery that transcends intellectual knowing.
When you stop measuring spirituality by how much you understand and instead surrender to the presence that holds you, liberation becomes not a distant achievement but your immediate nature.
