“Listen then to My inconceivable glory for I am the goal to be attained”:


mayā tatam idaṃ sarvaṃ jagad avyakta mūrtinā |
mat-sthāni sarva bhūtāni na cāhaṃ teṣv-avasthitaḥ || 4 ||

4. This entire universe is pervaded by Me, in an unmanifest form. All beings abide in Me, but
I do not abide in them.

Commentary

This entire universe — composed of both sentient and insentient beings, is pervaded by Me — the inner controller whose essential nature is unmanifest. The meaning is that all this universe is pervaded by Krishna the Principal (śeṣi) so that He may sustain and manage it.

This [doctrine of] universal pervasion by an inner controller, who is invisible to all beings, is taught in the Antaryāmi- Brāhmaṇa.

So also Krishna’s primacy over everything is taught.
