SVARUPA SAMBODHANA
EXPLANATION When the soul is viewed with reference to keval jnana, all knowing omniscience, then it can be treated as all pervading, because all the substances of the universe are reflected in it. But the embodied soul is confined within living body it occupies and hence it is not all pervading.

The Soul is attributed with various types of knowledge, such as mati-jnana (which helps to know about the things through sensual and mental faculties), shruta-jnana (which enhances and confirms the knowledge gained through mati-jnana about a substance) and so on. It is also attributed with samyaktra, i.e. right vision, right conduct, etc. on account of which the Soul even though it adopts various shapes and sizes in conformity with the body encasing it, it does not part with its basic attribute of consciousness, remains one and the same. In this way, in a certain context, the Soul is also multifaceted.
EXPLANATION As an individual who is basicallya man, but in context with varying relationships - he is a father in reference to his son, or a son in reference to his father, a nephew or an uncle, etc. In the same way, the Soul having consciousness as its very basic attribute, is one, but is visualized differently in different forms and in different circumstances.
