A difficult paradox to understand: God is in everything, but everything is not contained in God's being

At the end of each cycle of creation, sustainment and dissolution everything created goes back to the unmanifested state that is God’s being. And, at the beginning of the next cycle, He brings forth all of creation once again. Over and over again, God produces the myriad of things that make up creation, all of which are subject to the finite laws of nature. But God is not affected by the actions of His creatures because He witnesses it all from an aloof position of detachment. Even though God pervades the entire universe, He does not abide in creation. Just as the wind exists in empty space but is not the space itself, all of creation has its existence in God, but the created things are not the unmanifested being that is God. Because of God, creation can revolve through these cycles of creation and dissolution.
