Krishna speaks one of the Gita's most mind-bending statements. This entire universe is pervaded by me in my invisible form. All beings exist in me — yet I am not contained in them.
Consider the sky. Everything in the world — birds, clouds, mountains, storms — exists within the sky. But the sky itself is not trapped inside any one of those things. Krishna's relationship with creation is something like that.
Both halves of this statement are true at the same time: 'All beings rest in me' and 'I do not rest in them.' This is not a contradiction. It is the nature of the infinite — present everywhere, confined nowhere.
