The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret

Krishna reveals His supreme nature: 'Maya tatam idam sarvam jagad avyakta-murtina'—by Me (maya), in My unmanifest form (avyakta-murtina), this entire universe (idam sarvam jagad) is pervaded (tatam). 'Mat-sthani sarva-bhutani'—all beings (sarva-bhutani) are situated in Me (mat-sthani). 'Na ca aham teshu avasthitah'—but I (aham) am not (na ca) situated (avasthitah) in them (teshu). This is the paradox of the Supreme: He pervades everything, yet transcends everything. All beings exist in Him, but He is not limited by them. He is the foundation, the support, the source—yet He remains transcendent. This is the nature of the Supreme: all-pervading yet beyond all limitation.
