Everything rests in Me

mayā tatamidaṃ sarvaṃ jagadavyaktamūrtināmatsthāni sarvabhūtāni na cāhaṃ teṣvavasthitaḥ

All this world is filled by Me in My unseen form. All beings rest in Me, but I do not rest in them.

What it means

Krishna offers a mystery. He fills the whole world in his unseen form. Every being rests in him. Yet he isn't contained in any of them. Like the ocean holding countless fish without being any fish. He holds everything, and nothing holds him.

The story

Arjuna sees armies, horses, chariots. Krishna says every one of them rests within him. The whole battlefield is held in a reality far larger than the war.

In your life

Remember the sky holding every bird, cloud and plane, while staying just the sky. Next time you feel lost in the details of life, remember what holds them all.
