As I decide to 'desire', I give birth to 'distress'..

As I decide to 'desire', I give birth to 'distress', I desire material gains (which are products of material nature) because of  being associated with the material nature at the time of birth in the form of this material body by coming in contact with the three modes of material nature- the mode of goodness, the mode of passion and the mode of ignorance. My this body which is a product of this material nature is called the 'field' and the one who knows the material body is called the knower of the field. The following are together considered in summary to be the field of activity and its interactions (the body): The five elements - (earth, water, fire, air and ether), false ego, intelligence, the unmanifested, the ten senses - (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin, voice, legs, hands, anus and genitals), mind, the five sense objects - (smell, taste, form, touch and sound), desire, hatred, happiness, distress, the aggregate, the life symptoms. Nature is said to be the cause of all material causes and effects, everything moving and non-moving is a produce of this material nature and whereas I (in contact with matter) am the cause of various sufferings and enjoyments in this world. I, in this material nature thus follow the ways of life, enjoying the three modes of material nature, this as I said earlier is due to my association with the material nature and thus I meet with good and evil in ways of life. This means that whatever I see in existence, both moving and non-moving is only a combination of the field of activity and the knower of the field but I, being the knower of the field actually does nothing at all. Thus, only with the vision of eternity I can see that I (the imperishable soul) am transcendental, eternal and beyond the modes of nature and despite contact with the material body, I neither do anything nor am I entangled, but due to my associaton with the matter, I believe myself to be the doer. If only I can transcend the three modes of nature, I can become free from all dualities and anxieties, can remain undisturbed, can regard alike happiness and distress, can be same towards honor and dishonor, desirable and undesirable. And one who intends to transcend the three modes should think of the Lord, become his devotee, worship him and offer homage unto him.

Description Of The Super Soul..(The Supreme Personality Of Godhead)



The Super soul is the original source of all senses, yet He is without senses. He is unattached, although He is the maintainer of all living beings. He transcends the modes of nature, and at the same time He is the master of all the modes of material nature.

The Supreme truth exist outside and insideof all living beings, the moving and the unmoving. Because He is subtle, He is beyond the power of the material senses to see or to know. Although far far away, he is also near to all.

Although the Super soul appears to be divided among all beings. He is never divided. He is situated as one. Although He is the maintainer of every living entity, it is to be understood that he devours and develops all.

The Super soul is the source of light in all luminous objects. He is beyond the darkness of matter and is unmanifested. He is knowledge, he is the object of knowledge and the goal of knowledge. He is situated in every ones heart.

Everywhere are his hands and legs, his eyes and faces, and he has ears everywhere. In this way the Super soul exists, pervaiding everything.

Some percieve the Super soul within themselves through meditation, others through cultivation of knowledge, and still there are others who percieve the Super soul through working without fruitive desires.

Again there are others who, although not conversant in spiritual knowledge begin to worship the supreme person (super soul) upon hearing about him from others. Because of their tendency to hear from authorities, they also transcend the path of birth and death.

Those who cease to see different identities due to different material bodies because the individual soul and the super soul are present in very living being and he sees how beings are expanded everywhere, he attains to the level of Brahman conception.

Those with the vision of eternity can see that the imperishable soul is transcendental, eternal and beyond the modes of nature, despite contact with the material body, the soul neither does anything nor is entangled.

The individual soul present in different material bodies seems to be actually only  "one" and is only being expanded further and further in various forms of material bodies.
