be beyond darkness. He is the knowledge, the object of knowledge, and seated
in the hearts of all beings, He is to be realized by the knowledge. (13.17)

physical body and organs (of perception and action). The Purusha (or the
consciousness) is said to be the cause of experiencing pleasures and pains. (13.20)
