यथाऽऽकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान्।तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्युपधारय॥
yathākāśa-sthito nityaṃ vāyuḥ sarvatra-go mahāntathā sarvāṇi bhūtāni mat-sthānītyupadhāraya
Word by word
The verse says
As the mighty wind, going everywhere, always rests in space — know that in the same way all beings rest in me.
In plain words
One image, and the confusion of the last two verses settles.
Wind is in the sky. Nothing the wind does happens to the sky.
It is not that space is nearby, or involved, or affected. Space is where wind takes place.
Where you've felt this · in sport
On a windy afternoon a kite pulls hard enough to hurt your hands. The line cuts, your arms ache, the whole thing wants to get away from you. The sky is doing none of the pulling. Everything happening to that kite is happening in the sky, and the sky is not part of the struggle.
Going deeper
An image succeeds here where two attempts at plain statement did not, and that is worth noticing about how this book teaches.
Space is the one thing that can hold something without being touched by it. Wind moves through it at any speed and space is not disturbed, not divided, not used up. It does not resist the wind and it does not help it. And the wind could not exist anywhere else.
That is the relation the previous verses kept failing to fit into the words in and not-in.
What it offers a reader is a way of holding two things that usually feel opposed. Something can be completely present to your situation and completely untroubled by it. Those are not in competition, and most of us have never had a model for it.
