Āśraya· The supreme shelterThe Creator Brings Together and Separates
“Just as the wind brings together masses of clouds, blades of grass, wisps of cotton and particles of dust, only to scatter them all again, so the creator deals with His created beings in the same way.”

- The wind gathers masses of clouds, blades of grass, wisps of cotton and particles of dust.
- The same wind scatters these things again after bringing them together.
- Kṛṣṇa uses this comparison to explain how the creator brings created beings together and separates them.
