Supreme Self has expanded itself in such an unique way that it neither visible nor invisible.
How we can surmise this?
Ashtavakar has summarized in simple but in a beautiful way by example of image in mirror.
Yathevadarashmadhye roopentah partastu sa I
Tathevasminsharireantah paritah parmeshwarah II
(Verse19 chapter 1Ashtavakar Samhita)
As the image reflected in a mirror is pervaded by mirror all around, every embodiment is pervaded by Braham.
Ashtavakar has cited a queer example of image in mirror being enveloped by mirror compared with prevalence of Infinite Braham all over the creations.
This is an ordinary example making complexity simplicity.
Looking at a mirror is a routine for all human beings. When one looks at a mirror, one sees image of particular embodiment. Mind readily retorts that I am this body. But we miss to see that it is Image surrounded by mirror all around, As soon as one withdraws from the mirror, the image disappears. So is the case of embodiment. It is pervaded by Lord all around.
Every one can not understand a simple equation that this universe is the reflection of Lord Krishna the primitive entity playing divine game of creation, maintaining and destroying this universe. This play being played daily is not easily perceived by person of ordinary prudence.
Lord Krishna says in chapter 10, verse 42 in Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta
Athva bahunaetain kim gyaaten tuvarjun I
Vishtabhayamiahamidam kritsanekanshen sititho jagat II
What more you require to know Arjun! I sustain the entire universe in a part of myself.
When the entire universe is being sustained by the Lord Krishna in a small part of himself, the Sun, Moon or fire cannot illuminate him. The Lord is illuminator of all these
Those who had attained the spiritual knowledge and derived wisdom there from have already attained Lord; have been absorbed in Lord himself in His service
To attain that oneness with Lord self soul has to realize itself and see self as one in all and then all in Supreme Self Lord.
What one actually sees is, embodiment created by act of nature and not the consciousness which is torching the embodiment.
When one completely sheds passion, desire, fear, anger, absorbed in the Lord, his mind is purified, and one thus attains knowledge and wisdom.
Then one ultimately obtains blessing of Lord by submerging in infinity.
That is the Lord himself (it is like a river merging in ocean) consciousness merging in Super Consciousness.
Maharishi Ashtavakar again simplifies knowledge about Self Soul by way of example of Space enveloping entire spectrum of this universe:
Ekam sarvgatam vyomam bahirantaryatha ghate I
Nityam nirantram braham bhutgarha tatha II
(Chapter1 Verse 20 Ashtavakar Samhita)
As all pervading ether is same, in and around a pot, same Almighty Lord pervades in and around all beings.
Ashtavakar exhorts King Janank as to how percepts Braham in and around all beings.
Queer and simple example is all comprehensive with straight concentration of mind on the normal meaning of words.
.
yatha sargatam sokshmadaksham nouplipyatey I
sarva avasthitodehe tathamo noplipyatey II (13.32)
As the all pervading ether is not tainted by reason of its subtlety, so seated everywhere in the body, the self is not affected by the attributes of the body.
The self is beginning less., causeless but cause of all, the great Lord of the beings, the originator and destroyer of all, without any attribute, divine, a witness of the body, though seated in the body of all creatures neither does any thing nor it is affected by the attributes of the particular body seated wherein. See your consciousness.
Has it done anything which senses accomplish with their objects?
Though appearing to be enjoyer right now because of its identification with body, this illuminator has never experienced any pleasure or pain through out its presence in the body.
It was a witness to pleasure and pain as well but the self soul took every thing of dead body under going these pain and pleasure upon itself and wailed and relished through dirty mind.
This is untrue.
Feel it and separate your self soul.
But Alas! You are not listening to the word of Lord Krishna Himself.
As the all pervading ether or space is not affected or decimated by any outer object so is the self-atma- paramatma- living and charging bodies of all creatures is not affected by their actions. Had it been so it would not have been possible to reincarnate another body?
See the embodiment from very close. You have to take a tour of your body. Start from top to bottom, one by one. There is no part of body which is vaccumless. The brain contain vacuum to make blood flow in it possible. Even slight block in the brain vacuum can cause its hemorrhage and death of body. Heart has space to ensure flow of blood. None can withstand artery blockade. Mouth, nose, ears, eyes are queer example of space. Above all every part of body have a space but the space in body itself is not affected from ant deterioration in the part of body. As such the self same in all and every where is unaffected by the acts of that particular body.
Self soul with attachment with modification of elements that is body has unwittingly enslaved itself and by unconditional surrender to Lord, it can secure emancipation and go home like that of free prisoner.
As the sky is not affected by the presence of clouds, so is the space is an essential attribute in every embodiment, is not affected by other attributes because it is a space necessary for body.
The space in nose, mouth, ears, and other part of the body makes the body functional but it is not affected by any particular function.
This space is an essential ingredient of all embodiments.
But space in all bodies or species of bodies remains unaffected.
So is the state of self all pervading Braham/ Lord /Soul seated in all bodies remains unaffected of the function of any particular body animate or inanimate.
But the ignorant one can not understand this simple phenomenon because for him ‘ignorance’ is bliss in his own domain.
Human form is the best opportunity bestowed on a self soul to liberate itself.
It does not mean leaving acting it as per destiny.
That will prevail.
Destiny is translated attachments coming into existence in form of reactions.
One is not required to own these natural coming reactions and desire for their fruits.
Reality is this that embodied soul appears to act as per these reactions till the end of body but it is not doer.
It is eternal bliss.
