Lord Krishna has called self soul an eternal nature in chapter 7 of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta:
bhumiapoanlo vayu kham manoh bhudhirev ch I
ahankaram etiayam me bhinnah parkriti ashatdha II ( 7.4)
Earth, water, fire, air, space, mind, intellect, and ego are eight folded different type of my nature.
LORD UNFOLDS EIGHT TYPES OF HIS TRANSIENT NATURE. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF NATURE OF WHICH SELF TAKES SHAPE.
UNANIMATE AND ANIMATE
BUT BOTH ARE THE SHAPES WHICH THE SELF HAS TRANSFORMED INTO. LORD UNFOLDS EIGHT TYPES OF HIS TRANSIENT NATURE.
EARTH, WATER, FIRE, AIR AND ETHER ALONG WITH MIND SET, INTELLECT, AND EGO ARE UNANIMATED NATURE, IT IS UNANIMATED NATURE OF LORD KRISHANA.. THESE ARE NOT DIFFERENT FROM THE SELF.
THIS IS THE KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS THE CRUX OF THIS CHAPTER WHEREBY A SEER CAN REALISE HIS OWNSELF.
THAT IS WHY IT IS KNOWLEDGE WHICH DISCOVERS EXISTING TRUTH WHICH IS A SORT OF SCIENCE OF TRUE NATURE OF SELF.
aparmayam itastuanyam parkritim vidhi me pram I
jeevbhutam mahabaho yayedsm dharyate jagat II (5)
Oh Mighty Armed! Another superior nature of mine is the individual soul nature whereby i create and hold this universe
THE OTHER NATURE IS ANIMATED INDIVIDUAL SOUL NATURE OF THE ALMIGHTY SELF WHEREBY THIS UNIVERSE IS CREATED AND SUSTAINED BY SELF.
NOW IT IS ABUNDUNTLY CLEAR THAT SELF/SUPREME SELF DIVIDED ITSELF IN TWO FORMS TO PLAY WITH ITSELF AND ENJOY WITH ITSELF.
THIS NOT DELIBERATION OF SEERS OR PHILSOPHY ENUNCIATED BY SOME PERSONS WHO HAVE DISCOVERED SOMETHING NEW AND THEY FORMULATING SOME FICTION.
IT IS THE VOICE OF ETERNAL SELF WHO CAME TO BESTOW DELIVERVANCE ON EARTH, COW AND LEARNED FROM THE MISDEEDS OF WICKED.
IT IS SIMPLE STATEMENT FOR THOSE WHO PRAY FOR AND WANT DELIVERENCE.
SELF IS ALL PREVADING IN ALL FORMS AND SPREADING EVERYWHERE AND IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
IT IS NOT ONLY BE SEEN BUT IT IS TO BE KEPT before ONESELF SO THAT ONE IS ABBLE TO RECOGNISE ONE’S TRUE SELF.
etatad yonini bhutani sarvarhinitiupdharay I
aham krisanam jagatah parbhavah parlayastatha II (6)
Presume all the beings held in the union of these two types of nature and I with these two forms of nature, create and destroy this universe.
But while identifying with material nature mind the foolish self soul tries to attain equality with almighty. He evolves own ways to attain material acquisition by which it again and again tries to attain supremacy but fails and falls in transmigration trap.
When it sheds ego of doer ship it liberates it self from the clutches of material world.
Ashtravakra tells King Janak in chapter one of his Samhita:
Aham karteti aham manmahakrishna ahi danshitahI
Naaham karteti vishwasamrit peetva sukhi bhav II (8)
I am the doer. Cobra in form of ‘this ego’ has bitten you. I am not the doer; this determination shall lead you to happiness.
Why a person is gloomy. It is the mind which reflects the reaction to a particular situation. A particular reaction may bring a sort of happiness to one and distress to others. Same situation reflecting two reactions in two minds is stark reality. It is reality that the self soul has no connection with mind, intellect, senses and body. It is their illuminator. It is witness of every situation. While listening, it appears to be using ear, while seeing, it appears to be using eye. This can be applied to all senses but actually senses are roaming in their object.
In chapter 5 chapter of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta Lord Krishna reveals in verse 8 and 9:
neiv kinchitkromiiti yukto manyet tatvavit I
pashayanshrivarhsparshanjigharannashangachhanswapansavshan II
parlapanvisrijinangreharhanunmishannimishanapi I
indriyarhiindrayartheshu vartant iti dharyan II (5.8-9)
The wise man who has come to the reality of things must believe, even though seeing, hearing, breathing, smelling, eating, or drinking , walking, sleeping, breathing, speaking, answering call of nature, grasping, opening and closing the eyes,, that he does nothing, holding that senses are moving in their objects.
The Karamyogi who has conquered his mind and mastered his senses, with pure heart and who has identified himself with self/lord of all beings remains unaffected, even though performing action.
With knowledge that lord is present in all and every animate and inanimate thing one comes across or those are celestial and invisible are having modification of Lord alone. Whether they are in nature or in shape of nature, it is very modification of Lord Himself. Karamyogi thus knowing this conquers his mind, masters his senses and by devotion to Lord, his heart purified, sees Lord every where. Action is the result of three qualities of nature and the spirit in embodiment has nothing to do with action and it is only witness of action.
The wise man having come to know the reality of worldly things, percepts that while doing every act he is not the doer and senses are playing with their objects and soul seated in embodiment is not doer.
Lord has enumerated all sense actions in these verses and directed that having seen through thus reality, a renounced soul should be considered aloof from all these acts and being witness is not the doer, dispassionately observing every act but remaining unattached.
This real aspect is reflected in Great Saint’s advice.
