9.5 And yet they do not Krishna speaks

न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम्
भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः

na cha mat-sthāni bhūtāni paśhya me yogam aiśhwaram
bhūta-bhṛin na cha bhūta-stho mamātmā bhūta-bhāvanaḥ

And yet beings do not rest in me. Look at my mastery: I sustain all beings, and I am not in them.

Explanation

And yet beings do not rest in me.

One verse after saying they do. Look at my mastery — I sustain all beings, and I am not in them.

The contradiction is the content. Any single formulation would fix a relation that the chapter is saying cannot be fixed, so it gives two and calls the tension mastery rather than a difficulty.
