<span class="link">[[Vanisource:BG 2.17|BG 2.17, Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="purport text"><p style="display: inline;">Any layman can understand that the material body minus consciousness is a dead body, and this consciousness cannot be revived in the body by any means of material administration. Therefore, consciousness is not due to any amount of material combination, but to the spirit soul. In the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad (3.1.9) the measurement of the atomic spirit soul is further explained:</p><br />
:eṣo 'ṇur ātmā cetasā veditavyo<br />
:yasmin prāṇaḥ pañcadhā saṁviveśa<br />
:prāṇaiś cittaṁ sarvam otaṁ prajānāṁ<br />
:yasmin viśuddhe vibhavaty eṣa ātmā<br />
<p>"The soul is atomic in size and can be perceived by perfect intelligence. This atomic soul is floating in the five kinds of air (prāṇa, apāna, vyāna, samāna and udāna), is situated within the heart, and spreads its influence all over the body of the embodied living entities. When the soul is purified from the contamination of the five kinds of material air, its spiritual influence is exhibited."</p><br />
<p>The haṭha-yoga system is meant for controlling the five kinds of air encircling the pure soul by different kinds of sitting postures—not for any material profit, but for liberation of the minute soul from the entanglement of the material atmosphere.</p><br />
<p>So the constitution of the atomic soul is admitted in all Vedic literatures, and it is also actually felt in the practical experience of any sane man. Only the insane man can think of this atomic soul as all-pervading viṣṇu-tattva.</p><br />
