|| CHAPTER 9 | THE SOVEREIGN KNOWLEDGE & MYSTERY ||
yatha akasa-sthitah nityam vayuḥ sarvatragah mahan
tatha sarvaṇi bhutani matsthani upadharaya || 9.6 ||
9.6 Understand thus that just as the voluminous wind moving everywhere is ever present in space , similarly all beings abide in ME .
|| BHASYA 1 || SRI SANKARACARYA ||
Upadharaya , understand ; iti , thus ; that yatha , just as ; in the world , the mahan , voluminous — in dimension ; vayuh , wind ; sarvatragah , moving everywhere ; is nityam , ever ; akasa-sthitah , present in space ; tatha , similarly ; ( sarvani , all ; bhutani , beings ; matsthani ) , abide in ME who am omnipresent like space — abide certainly without any contact .
|| BHASYA 2 || SRI RAMANUJACHARYA
yatha akasa-sthitah nityam vayuḥ sarvatragah mahan
tatha sarvaṇi bhutani matsthani upadharaya || 9.6 ||
9.6 As the powerful element air moving everywhere ever remains in the ether , know that so too all beings abide in ME .
The " powerful air " remains and moves everywhere in the ether ( Akasa ) without any perceivable support .
So it has necessarily got to be admitted that the powerful air is dependent on ME for its existence and is being upheld by ME alone .
Even so know that all entities abide in ME , who am invisible to them , and that they are upheld by ME alone .
The knowers of the Veda declare thus :
" The origin of clouds , the waters of the ocean remaining within bounds , the phases of the moon , the strong movements of the gale , the flash of lightning and the movements of the sun — all these are marvelous manifestations of the power of Visnu ( GOD ) " .
The meaning is that they are all the marvelous miracles which are unique to Visnu ( GOD ) .
The Srutis and other texts also declare likewise :
" Verily , O Gargi , at the command of that Imperishable One , the sun and the moon stand apart " ( BR UP 3.8.9 ) . . .
It has been declared that the existence and acts of all beings originate by the Will of the Lord , who is independent of all others
