Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 15 verse 10

 Chapter 15 verse 10 

“The ignorant do not perceive the soul as it resides in the body, and as it enjoys sense objects; nor do they perceive it when it departs. But those who possess the eyes of knowledge can behold it.” 

We associate ourselves so much with the body, senses, mind, intellect and ego that we don’t realize that without the soul, these instruments of material nature cannot be even comprehended by us. Who am I? When that question is probed, then only the soul comes forth and answers that question in the affirmative that “I” am not the body, mind, senses, intellect or ego but the immutable jivatma which is part and parcel of paramatma. That question needs to be asked until the right answer is revealed to oneself. Let us not accept other person’s realization as confirmation of this phenomenon. Let us realize in our own way and time.
