The soul is free from all entanglements. It is eternal and transcendental.

यथा सर्वगतं सौक्ष्म्यादाकाशं नोपलिप्यते ।
सर्वत्रावस्थितो देहे तथात्मा नोपलिप्यते
॥ १३=३३॥

yathā sarvagataṁ saukṣmyād ākāśaṁ
nopalipyate sarvatrāvasthito dehe
tathātmā nopalipyate

The sky, due to its subtle nature,
does not mix with anything,
although it is all-pervading.
Similarly, the soul, situated in
Brahman, does not mix with the
body, though situated in that body

POWERFUL COGNITION

Just as the sun illuminates our whole world, one Supreme Self—Paramātma, that is one kṣetrajña, illuminates all beings in the Universe, whether they are animate or inanimate.

क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञयोरेवमन्तरं ज्ञानचक्षुषा ।
भूतप्रकृतिमोक्षं च ये विदुर्यान्ति ते परम्
॥ १३=३५॥

kṣetrakṣetrajñayor evam antaraṁ
jñāna-cakṣuṣā bhūta-prakṛti-
mokṣaṁ ca ye viduryānti te param

Those, who see with the eyes of
knowledge the difference between the
body-mind, kṣetra and the knower of
the body-mind, kṣetrajña, can
understand the process. Are liberated
from the bondages of the material
nature and attain the Paramātman

POWERFUL COGNITION

There are no two separate entities called soul and Supreme Soul. There is only soul. There is only one. Everything in this Universe has the Supreme Soul.
