TRANSLATION One who sees
the Supersoul accompanying the individual soul in all bodies, and who understands
that neither the soul nor the Supersoul is ever destroyed, actually sees.
PURPORT Anyone who can
see three things--the body, the proprietor of the body, or individual soul,
and the friend of the individual soul, combined together by good association--is
actually in knowledge. Those who are not associated with the soul's friend
are ignorant; they simply see the body, and when the body is destroyed
they think that everything is finished, but actually it is not so. After
the destruction of the body, both the soul and the Supersoul exist, and
they go on eternally in many various moving and unmoving forms. The Sanskrit
word paramesvara is sometimes translated as "the individual soul"
because the soul is the master of the body, and after the destruction of
the body he transfers to another form. In that way he is master. But there
are others who interpret this paramesvara to be the Supersoul. In
either case, both the Supersoul and the individual soul continue. They
are not destroyed. One who can see in this way can actually see what is
happening.
