Verse

अथवा बहुनैतेन किं ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन ।विष्टभ्याहमिदं कृत्स्नम् एकांशेन स्थितो जगत् ॥

athavā bahunaitena kiṃ jñātena tavārjunaviṣṭabhyāhamidaṃ kṛtsnam ekāṃśena sthito jagat

But what need is there of a multitude of details for this knowledge, O Arjuna? Take it thus, that I am here in this world and everywhere, I support this entire universe with an infinitesimal portion of Myself.

Gītā 10·42

Yet the highest power and manifestation is only a very partial revelation of the Infinite; even the whole universe is informed by only one degree of his greatness, illumined by one ray of his splendour, glorious with a faint hint of his delight and beauty.

Take it thus, that I am here in this world and everywhere, I am in all and I constitute all: there is nothing else than I, nothing without Me. I support this entire universe with a single degree of my illimitable power and an infinitesimal portion of my fathomless spirit; all these worlds are only sparks, hints, glintings of the I Am eternal and immeasurable.
