The Opulence of the Absolute
Chapter 10: Verse-22

vedänäm säma-vedo ’smi devänäm asmi väsavah
indriyänm manas cäsmi bhütänäm asmi cetanä [1]

TRANSLATION

Of the Vedas I am the Säma Veda; of the demigods I am Indra, the king of heaven; of the senses I am the mind; and in living beings I am the living force [consciousness].


PURPORT

The difference between matter and spirit is that matter has no consciousness like the living entity; therefore this consciousness is supreme and eternal. Consciousness cannot be produced by a combination of matter.
