COMMENTARY-SUMMARY TRANSLATION
This introspecting soul is located in all living beings. He is Purusha endowed with pure intelligence. He is Atma the Supreme. He is indivisible; he has no division, nor form nor any attributes. He is without a body. He is without senses, and other means of action. He is not bound by the vital airs, nor is he touched by them. Even then, he exists and is pure intelligent energy. His existence can be known on account of knowledge, will to desire, will to act and on account of the Turiya (purest conscious state) which includes all these other states of consciousness. By means of his own power of speech he inspires all. That inner soul is realisable through self-experience. Cf. "You are the inner soul of gods, of men and of the entire universe. Realisation can be attained by inward seeing” ( Rg. 1-50-5 ).

This indewelling soul is invested with the principle of light, fluid and earth. And he is born of and protected by the three elements mixed in equal proportions. He is within us and activises us through the power of speech, the vital forces and the principle of consciousness from within ourselves.
