Translation

Understand that as the mighty wind, blowing everywhere, rests always in the sky, all created beings rest in Me.

Commentary by Srila Prabhupada

For the ordinary person it is almost inconceivable how the huge material creation is resting in Him. But the Lord is giving an example which may help us to understand. The sky may be the biggest manifestation we can conceive. And in that sky the wind or air is the biggest manifestation in the cosmic world. The movement of the air influences the movements of everything. But although the wind is great, it is still situated within the sky; the wind is not beyond the sky. Similarly, all the wonderful cosmic manifestations are existing by the supreme will of God, and all of them are subordinate to that supreme will. As we generally say, not a blade of grass moves without the will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus everything is moving under His will: by His will everything is being created, everything is being maintained, and everything is being annihilated. Still He is aloof from everything, as the sky is always aloof from the activities of the wind.

In the Upanishads it is stated, yad-bhisa vatah pavate: “It is out of the fear of the Supreme Lord that the wind is blowing.” (Taittiriya Upanishad 2.8.1) In the Brihad-aranyaka Upanishad (3.8.9) it is stated, etasya va aksharasya prasasane gargi surya-candramasau vidhrtau tisthata etasya va aksharasya prasasane gargi dyav-aprithivyau vidhrtau tisthatah. “By the supreme order, under the superintendence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the moon, the sun, and the other great planets are moving.” In the Brahma-samhita (5.52) also it is stated, 

yac-caksur esa savita sakala-grahanam
raja samasta-sura-murtir asesa-tejah
yasyajnaya bhramati sambhrta-kala-cakro
govindam adi-purusham tam aham bhajami 

This is a description of the movement of the sun. It is said that the sun is considered to be one of the eyes of the Supreme Lord and that it has immense potency to diffuse heat and light. Still it is moving in its prescribed orbit by the order and the supreme will of Govinda. So, from the Vedic literature we can find evidence that this material manifestation, which appears to us to be very wonderful and great, is under the complete control of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This will be further explained in the later verses of this chapter.

Commentary by Sri Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur

Though the living beings are in me, who remain detached, they art not in me; and though 1 am in them, I am not in them. An example is given in this verse to illustrate.                                  

The wind remains always situated in the ether, which has a nature of being detached. The wind has a nature of being restless, going everywhere (sarvatra gah) and is great in size (mahan). Because of the detachment of the ether, the wind is situated in it, but not situated in it;   the ether, though in the wind, is not in the wind, because of detachment. Similarly all things such as ether, which are great in dimension and are moving everywhere, are situated in me, but 1 also have the nature of detachment. Please consider and accept this fact.

But the Lord has said that his powers are inconceivable: pasya me yogam aisvaram. How then can those powers remain inconceivable if they are just like common ether and wind? It is explained as follows. Ether has  detachment because it is unconsciouscious by its very nature. Among  conscious beings however, detachment does not exist anywhere, except in the Lord, even though he is at once the abode of everything and its controller. This establishes the inconceivability of the Lord. This example,   comparing ether to the Lord, is given for the understanding of the common man.
