Upadrashtanumanta cha bharta bhokta maheshvarah, paramatmeti chapy ukto dehe 'smin purushah parah
The Supreme Purusha in this body is the overseer, the permitter, the supporter, the experiencer, the great Lord, and is also called the Paramatma (Supersoul). This verse reveals the presence of God within every being as the inner witness and support.
- •The Supersoul (Paramatma) dwells within every body
- •God is the inner witness, sanctioner, and sustainer
- •The Supreme is distinct from the individual soul within the body
Anadi-tvat nirgunatvat paramatmayam avyayah, sharira-stho 'pi kaunteya na karoti na lipyate
O son of Kunti, because the imperishable Supersoul is without beginning and beyond the qualities of material nature, even though situated within the body, it neither acts nor is entangled. The soul's transcendence keeps it untouched by the activities of the body.
- •The soul is beginningless and beyond the three gunas
- •Though in the body, the soul neither acts nor is contaminated
- •Transcendence of material qualities is the soul's natural state
