Translation
The sannyāsī should always try to see the Supreme pervading everything and see everything, including this universe, resting on the Supreme.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
He should always try to see this universe in the Lord, who is beyond cause and effect, and should see the Lord, the Supreme Brahman, in all things composed of cause and effect.
Sad-asataḥ pare means “in the Lord devoid of cause and effect.”
