Speaking: Chapter 9, Verse 6
Verse 6
The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret
Understand that as the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, rests always in the sky, so all created beings rest in Me.
Context & Meaning
A luminous analogy: the wind moves through all of space, yet always remains in space — it cannot exist apart from it. Similarly, all beings move through the Divine, live within the Divine, and cannot exist outside of it. The sky is unchanged by the wind; the Divine is unchanged by creation. This image makes the abstract tangible.

AdvaitaThe ākāśa (sky/space) analogy is precise: space contains all without being modified by anything within it. Even the fiercest storm does not scratch the sky. So too, the entirety of manifest creation exists within Brahman without altering it in the slightest.
