| Atma in the body is My eternal
indivisible fragment indeed. Atma gets bound (or attached, and is called
Jeevaatma) due to superimposition or association with the six sensory faculties, including
the mind, of perception. (15.07)
As the air takes away the aroma from the source (or
flower), similarly Atma takes the six sensory faculties from the physical body it casts
of (during death) to the (new physical) body it acquires (in reincarnation by
the power of Karma). (See also 2.13) (15.08)
The Jeevaatma enjoys sense pleasures with the help of
six sensory faculties: hearing, touch, sight, taste, smell, and mind.
