Detailed Meaning
Shree Krishna uses the analogy of the wind and space (Akasha) to explain the subtle relationship between the Divine and the material world. Just as the wind is vast and moves everywhere yet is always contained within the sky without altering the sky's nature, all living beings exist within God's energy. This illustrates 'Inseparability with Non-attachment.' God is the substratum (the space) that supports all movements (the wind) without being contaminated or limited by them. Everything is subordinate to His will and exists within His pervasive consciousness.
