If embodied soul remains resting in consciousness, seeing oneself distinct from the body, then even it will become happy, peaceful and free from bonds.
Identification with mind is the root cause of transmigration.
More the ego of doer ship, deeper the bondage.
I am the doer. Cobra in form of this ego has bitten EMBODIED SELF SOUL
I am not the doer; this determination shall lead it 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 other.
Same situation reflecting two reactions in two different 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:
nev 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 him / her self with self/Lord of all beings remains unaffected, even though performing action.
Righteousness and unrighteousness, pleasure and pain are evolutes which purely pertain to mind and these are no concern of yours.
You are neither the doer of theses acts nor the reaper of their consequences, so you are always free.
Since embodied soul identifying with mind seems to be bitten by the black snake ego of doer ship, it is necessary to drink the antidote of faith in the fact that self soul is not the doer to be happy.
Desire, attachment, passion, craving, obsession for any thing, all are tormenting for a seeker of self realization.
One with eyes of spiritual wisdom can feel the presence of Lord by shedding all these elements born out of ignorance of self.
Having a deep identification with mind, intellect and senses, self soul cannot get rid of these even when living one body.
Lord Krishna specifies in verse 8 and 9 of chapter 15 of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta:
Shariram yadavapnoti yachchutkramati ishwarahI
Grihitvaetani sanyati vayurgandhanivashayat II
Kshotram chakshuh saparshanam
ch rasnam ghrarhamev ch I
adhishthay manashchayam
vishyananupsevate II (8.9)
As the air takes away fragrance from its source, living entity while obtaining a new body or leaving a particular embodiment, or while staying in a body, it carries these senses and mind.
Living entity obtains Ear, eyes, the organ of touch, taste and smell as well as mind and enjoys the sense objects through them in new body.
While the living entity situated in a body, leaving or obtaining a new body in the process of karmic cycle of transmigration from one body to another, takes these senses and mind with it like air taking fragrance from a flower.
One cannot see this process of fragrance being taken away by air but one can seemingly smell it.
The process of living entity taking six senses including mind cannot be perceived by ignorant but wise can see it.
On obtaining new body, the conditioned self soul again starts its struggle with these senses, mind, intellect, to get happiness out of sense objects but it does not dawns upon it that the human form has bee blessed for realization and not for accumulating material prosperity.

Not ignorant but realized one can feel the presence of self soul while living in body, while enjoying the sense objects or when leaving the body.
Wise percept this soul through eyes of wisdom but ignorant even while making efforts, can not realize them.
Persons of self knowledge having realized them can perceive the self soul leaving the embodiment, seated in embodiment and posing to enjoy the sense objects, through sense organs.
They are capable of perceiving self soul being eluded by the three evolutes of material nature, but this perception is not possible for those who are ignorant. Faculties to see these realties are always available to all beings, but human form is, comparatively an easy instrument to access this goal.
Ignorant cannot perceive living entity departing from the body, staying in the body, enjoying sense objects by associating with material body and its being under the spell of modes of material nature but men of wisdom can see it.
One has to minutely observe as to what is the reality.
As a trader takes away his shop from one place to another and start functioning his business on a changed venue, the self soul being conditioned to enjoy senses objects through sense outlets starts the functioning of senses through new body which it attains due to karmic action and reactions.
As it has been conditioned to do so, it does those acts of sense gratification in new bodies because of attachment and desires for sense gratification.
The self soul has been going into embodiments of higher and lower species for the time immemorial.
This virtual chain of birth and death don’t stop till it becomes desire less.
