In English
Nevertheless, they do not consciously abide in Me. Such is My Divine Sovereignty that, though I, the Supreme Self, am the cause and upholder of all, yet I remain outside.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
Nor do beings exist in Me (in reality); behold, My divine Yoga, which supports all beings, but does not dwell in them, is My Self, the efficient cause of beings.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
