If we look at the ocean or extract a drop of sea water ,and examine one drop of it , it enables us to understand something of the ocean . However, in reality , the total combined oceans is a true expression of what the sum total of the ocean is . Within its depths are complex currents and even unknown species are lurking. So, a cursory glance or some examination does not tell us much about its nature , but it gives some idea
In the same way ….
One can point to one person , one particle of consciousness, and understand something of consciousness , such a study will give some clues of the nature of God, the Vedas says , along with His consciousness . The Vedas indicates God displays His unlimited consciousness in numerous ways , and they should be considered. He is, for instance, fully conscious of every one of his part and parcel expansions, namely all the living beings . He is simultaneously one and different from them and reciprocating with each part separately and directly . Those who understand consciousness properly can understand something of God .Thats why those who understand dualism by studying their own consciousness will most definitely understand something of the “ocean ” of God’s unlimited consciousness and something of His unlimitness energies and powers .

Translation
By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them.
Srila Sridhar Swami would say , in describing God ….…that God is everywhere but nowhere . How is this ? Because God is He who is full of opulences and lives in a multiuniversal capacity, both materially and spiritually . He can bestow trancendental bliss upon His devotees as the original personality of Godhead and simultaneously take care of the affairs of the material energies . God is everything , but Krishna is the original person from whom all the other forms of Divinity expand, and has multifarious energies , some superior some inferia. He remains permanently in Goloka Vrndavana , the spiritual world . So He is inside everything and simultaneously outside .
How can those placing faith in scientific materialism or atheistic Darwinian hypothesis understand ?
But Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger , Feynman or Teller would very well understand.
And the Harvard Prof Lisa Randall.
The concept that Krishna is everywhere but nowhere is explored in spiritual and philosophical writings in many cultures. Particularly within the framework of the dualistic school of Vedic philosophy , as opposed to monism , ie. God that is impersonal . This concept, often attributed to Srila Sridhar Swami, suggests that Krishna is both all-encompassing and yet transcends any specific location or limitation.
Here’s a breakdown of the concept:
Everywhere:
Krishna is seen as the ultimate reality, the underlying principle of the universe. As such, He is present in everything, pervading all space and time. This aligns with the idea of Brahman, the ultimate reality in Advaita Vedanta, which considers God impersonal and to be one, indivisible, and the source of all existence.
The one and difference are discussed in the Srimad Bhagavatam…
It indicates, “At the same time as being all pervading , Krishna is beyond the limitations of the material world.” He is not confined to any specific place, time, or form. This aspect of Divinity emphasizes His expansions of His spiritual energies , the ultimate reality. It’s not limited by the duality of existence and non-existence of the physical world.
In Essence:
The “everywhere but nowhere” concept highlights the paradoxical nature of the ultimate reality. It suggests that while Krishna is present in every aspect of the universe, He also transcends it and is not bound by the limitations of the material world.
This concept is often used to illustrate the idea that the ultimate reality is not something that can be defined or localized in the same way as ordinary objects or beings. It emphasizes the transcendence of the divine and the fact that He is beyond our comprehension. “
