Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Chapter 9 Verse 6 Yathaakaasha-sthito nitya.n vaayuh sarvatra-go mahaan / tathaa sarvaani bhuutaani mat-sthaanee'ty upadhaaraya // Just as the mighty wind moving everywhere rests ever in space, even so, know that all beings exist in Me. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 86 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji Compiled by: Swami Dattananda Bhaktimala, December 2000 "Just as the mighty wind moving everywhere rests ever in space, even so, know that all beings exist in Me" Here, the Lord gives a beautiful simile to explain the idea dealt with in the previous two verses. The wind exists in space and moves everywhere in the space. Yet, it is not the same as the space. It cannot exist if there were no space. Yet, it is untouched by the space. Or, in other words, it does not have any contact with the space. Even if the wind carries good or foul smell, the space does not get affected by it. It even remains pure. In the same way, the Brahman ever remains pure as It is untouched and unconnected with anything of the world. Although the space is unconnected with the wind it is the support of the wind. Similarly, although Brahman is unconnected with anything in the world, it is the support of the whole world and its objects. Therefore, the Lord says that all beings exist in Him as the wind ever exists in space.
