Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 15
Being fragments of God, we have our affinity with God—'mamaivamso jivaloke', therefore we abide in God. But the body, senses, mind and intellect have their affinity with 'prakrti', so they abide in 'prakrti'—'prakrtisthdni', Vikaramsca gunathicaiva viddhi prakrtisambhavan' (Gita 13/19). There has neither been, nor is, nor will be, nor can be our union with the body; while we have neither been, nor are, nor will be nor can be separate from God. If anything is at the farthest from us, it is the body; and if anyone is nearest to us, it is God. But because of desire—the sense of mine—identification, we see things in a perverted way viz., the body appears near while God appears far away, the body seems to be attained while God seems to be unattained.
