Verse 9.6

Verse 9.:6 “Just as, ever reposed within the Ether is the great Wind that moves everywhere; even so are all the beings reposed within Me: to this do thou hold fast.

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

The air spread in the sky is as wide as the mighty sky itself and makes

its presence felt only when it is made to move. Otherwise the sky and the air are one. In that way, all created beings appear to be in Me as Phantasy pictures them. But drop that Phantasy and the beings melt away: there then remains nothing but My pure Divine-Self. Thus it is all the work of Fantasy that the created beings are or are not. So when Fantasy, as the root-cause, ceases, what can be there that is or is not through its actions? So now know ye, once again this Yoga of glory—union with the glory of Divine Being (aiśvaryayoga). Be thou only as a ripple over the surface of ocean of Divine Life, and thou shall realize thyself as the all-pervading self.” Lord Krishna further said, “you are now awakened and are you not in the light of the supreme knowledge? The dream of duality has it not now vanished with this awakening? Were your reason to become drowsy again, by the action of Fantasy, this realization of unity (abheda) will again give place to the dreamy state. Therefore, I now disclose to you the secret of Truth, which shall uproot the path of the sleep of Fantasy, and keep you eternally awake in the illumination of the Absolute Self. Therefore, oh courageous Dhanurdhara, attend to what I say, that it is the Maya (Primal Nature) that makes and breaks all the beings.
