1Infinite emerges from finite. Thats why Upanishads mention the desire of Brahman(meaning expansion), 'Eko ham, bahu syam, I am one, let me be many' and Puranas personify Brahman as Brahma and creating mankind, saptrishi, gods and realms in nothingness. Thats why Yashoda saw entire cosmos in the mouth of Krishna, who was a top class yogi/Brahmgyani and reincarnation of sage Nara. – user22317 Nov 23 '20 at 18:02

The deep meaning is explicit if you know the “Poornamdah” sloka
Om Puurnnam-Adah Puurnnam-Idam Puurnnaat-Purnnam-Udacyate Puurnnashya Puurnnam-Aadaaya Puurnnam-Eva-Avashissyate || Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih ||
Meaning: Aum! That is infinite, and this (universe) is infinite. The infinite proceeds from the infinite. (Then) taking the infinitude of the infinite (universe), It remains as the infinite alone. Aum! Peace! Peace! Peace!
Infinite fits in a drop as well. Ocean is an allegory to the infinite. Drop to infinitesimal. You can shrink and fit the infinite in an infinitesimal is what Kabir is referring to. Science is close behind. The earth for e.g can fit in a marble in a blackhole.

It's deep meaning is pretty much the same given by William Blake:
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And Heaven in a Wild Flower
Brahman is in 'this' and in 'that'. All parts of the whole reflects not only the part itself, it also reflects the whole itself too.

Which text you're referring by William Blake? It seems nothing to do with Hinduism. – Pandya♦ Jan 12 at 14:30
