Chapter-15
The Supreme Person
9. Presiding over the organs of hearing, sight, touch, taste and smell and the mind, this (embodied Self) enjoys the objects of the senses. Whether he remains in this world or goes to the next world after assuming a body, he takes with him this group of senses including the mind. O Arjuna, when a lamp is extinguished, it takes away the light, but when it is re-lit, it brings back the light and spreads it; the ignorant think that this is what happens in the case of the embodied Self (366-370). They think that the Self really entered the body and left after enjoying the sense-objects. But coming and going, doing and enjoying are all the properties of Prakriti; but men ascribe them to the Self.
