Bhagavad Gita 9.5
Sanskrit
न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम्। भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः।।9.5।।
Transliteration
na cha mat-sthāni bhūtāni paśhya me yogam aiśhwaram bhūta-bhṛin na cha bhūta-stho mamātmā bhūta-bhāvanaḥ
Word by Word
Krishna reveals the supreme paradox of existence: all beings rest within His being, yet He remains untouched and uncontained by them—like space holding infinite objects without being affected. He sustains all life while dwelling beyond all life, the eternal creator who transcends His own creation.
This teaches us that the Divine is simultaneously intimate and utterly transcendent, present everywhere while bound nowhere—a truth that dissolves our fear of separation and anchors us in the ground of all existence.
