Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya

Chapter-13 Prakṛti-Puruṣa-vivek Yogaḥ

yathā prakāśayatyekaḥ kṛtsnaṃ lokam imaṃ raviḥ | kṣetraṃ kṣetrī tathā kṛtsnaṃ prakāśayati bhārata || 34 || 34. As the one sun illumines this whole world, so does the Knower of the Field (the Self), O Arjuna, illumine the whole Field (the body). Commentary The ātman whose nature has been described, is totally different from the body, because it is the subjective knower of the body which is the object of its knowledge, and is therefore different from it, even as the illuminating sun is totally different from the illumined world.
