yasyantah-sthani bhutani
yena sarvam idam tatam

TRANSLATION

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is greater than all, is attainable by unalloyed devotion. Although He is present in His abode, He is all-pervading, and everything is situated within Him.

JOURNAL:

In his purport Srila Prabhupada gives a nice, concise statement on how God can be omnipresent. So by His spiritual and material energies He is present everywhere--both in the material and in the spiritual universes. Yasyantah-sthani means that everything is sustained within Him, within either His spiritual or material energy. The Lord is all-pervading by these two energies.

We already know that Krishna, as Atman, resides in all living things. Here we find out that there is a little bit of Him in the non-living things also.
