मनः सृजति वै देहान् गुणान् कर्माणि चात्मनः । तन्मनः सृजते माया ततो जीवस्य संसृतिः ।। १२-५-६ ।।

sanskrit

The material bodies, qualities and activities of the spirit soul are created by the material mind. That mind is itself created by the illusory potency of the Supreme Lord, and thus the soul assumes material existence. ।। 12-5-6 ।।

स्नेहाधिष्ठानवर्त्यग्निसंयोगो यावदीयते । ततो दीपस्य दीपत्वमेवं देहकृतो भवः । रजःसत्त्वतमोवृत्त्या जायतेऽथ विनश्यति ।। १२-५-७ ।।

sanskrit

A lamp functions as such only by the combination of its fuel, vessel, wick and fire. Similarly, material life, based on the soul’s identification with the body, is developed and destroyed by the workings of material goodness, passion and ignorance, which are the constituent elements of the body. ।। 12-5-7 ।।

न तत्रात्मा स्वयञ्ज्योतिर्यो व्यक्ताव्यक्तयोः परः । आकाश इव चाधारो ध्रुवोऽनन्तोपमस्ततः ।। १२-५-८ ।।

sanskrit

The soul within the body is self-luminous and is separate from the visible gross body and invisible subtle body. It remains as the fixed basis of changing bodily existence, just as the ethereal sky is the unchanging background of material transformation. Therefore the soul is endless and without material comparison. ।। 12-5-8 ।।

sanskrit

The snake-bird Takṣaka, sent by the curse of the brāhmaṇa, will not burn your true self. The agents of death will never burn such a master of the self as you, for you have already conquered all dangers on your path back to Godhead. ।। 12-5-10 ।।
