Bhagavad Gita 9.5

Krishna speaking to Arjuna

न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम्। भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः ॥

na cha mat-sthāni bhūtāni paśhya me yogam aiśhwaram bhūta-bhṛin na cha bhūta-stho mamātmā bhūta-bhāvanaḥ

Nor have beings root in Me; behold My sovereign Yoga! The support of beings, yet not rooted in beings, My Self their efficient cause.

In plain words: Krishna adds a puzzle: in another sense, beings are not really held inside him either. He calls this his divine power. He holds up all beings and brings them into existence, yet he is not tied to them.
