Pure self having identified with mind body appears to be muddy but it is just like a pearl lying in pit of mud. It is the thinking which binds and frees.
Ashtavakar says to King Janka
Eko vishudhbodhoahamiti nishchaybahinna I
Prajyavalyaagyanam veetshokah sukhi bhav II (1.9)
I am one and only one pure consciousness, with fire of this strong determination; burn forest of your ignorance, stay happy, free from attachment and distress.
Attachment and identification is the real cause of transmigration of self soul from one body. A devotee see eternal game of Lord Krishna in every act of material as well eternal Nature of Lord Krishna as explained by Lord Himself in chapter 7 of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta
Self Soul is one and only one.
As we see Material nature divided in various material components, Eternal nature too has spread itself to take shape with association of material nature in form of three modes forming goodness, passion and ignorance.
Earth, ether, air, water, fire are basic elements.
A purer self soul soiled by plethora of attachments and reactions comes into a particular womb as per reaction of its nature.
Nature of eternal soul is never changed.
It is the identification which appears to soil it.
By assuming this soul free, one attains freedom.
It is so easy, yet appearing difficult because our not being ready to identify our real selves.
This is the effect of inscrutable power of Lord Krishna that the self soul is playing with material nature.
Even a self acclaimed embodied self soul has a difficult time to be a pure witness because of being sense gratification addict.
It is through long spell of meditation that mind attains purity and with pure mind, the self twinkles in a moment. Rather pure mind is self itself.
Lord Krishna says in chapter six of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta
Paryatnadyatmanastu yogi sanshudhkilvishah I
Anekjanamsasindhastato yati param gatim II (6.45)
The Yogi who in this very life takes up practice of meditation attains perfection with help of latencies of many births, and mind being purged of sin, immediately reaches supreme state.
A yogi who has attained yoga of seeing even ness every aspect and has being doing this practice for many births, being thoroughly purged of sin, forthwith reaches the supreme self in this very life as he has no aversion to any situation by attaining even ness in all beings,
But for superimposition of modification Lord Krishna and his universal modification is same.
Such a realized self soul sees Lord Krishna in every particle.
Illusion created by three folded divine material nature of Lord Krishna is so great that it envelops the entire universe.
It is appearance which causes an illusion.
Ashtavakar explains:
Yatra Vishvamidam bhatee Kalpitam rajjusarpvat I
Anand Parmanandaah sa bodhtuvam sukham charII (1.10)
As Snake appears to be transposed on a rope though it is not there, this entire universe appears to be transposed in same all blissful Self in you, knowing this you be happy.
This is revelation of an existing fact. As material nature is being illuminated by same self in all beings, material nature is also same in all beings and non-beings. This universe proves to be a Super Transposition of same self coming into being and vanishing like shade of an object. This universe is appearing, changing and is being annihilated daily but still it appears to be permanent. This is the illusion, yet embodied self soul are indulging
Lord Krishna reveals in verse 4 chapter 9 of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta:
mya tatamidam sarvam jagatavyakatmurtina I
matsthani sarvbhutani na chaaham,am tesguavashtita II
The whole of this universe is permeated by Me as un manifest divinity, all embodiments rest on the idea within me. Therefore, as really speaking, I am not present in them.
All the being abides in me but see wonderful power of divine yoga; though creator and sustainer of all beings, I do not dwell in those beings.
Air borne out of ether moving everywhere, born out of ether ever remains in ether, like wise all beings originate from my thought abide in Me.
