Bhagavad Gita 9.6

यथाऽऽकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान्। तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्युपधारय॥

yathākāśha-sthito nityaṁ vāyuḥ sarvatra-go mahān tathā sarvāṇi bhūtāni mat-sthānītyupadhāraya

Translation

As the mighty air everywhere moving is rooted in the Ether, so all beings rest rooted in Me—thus know thou.

What it means

As the mighty wind, moving everywhere, rests always in space, so all beings rest in Me. Space is the image: it hosts everything, is stained by nothing. The Divine is that kind of room for the universe.

Try this today

The wind-space image: motion everywhere, dependence total, contamination zero.

Something to reflect on

Am I the wind or the space in my own mind?
