As the sky is all pervading and in its subtlety never affected by  anything ( pollution), so does the soul within the body never polluted. The way the all-pervading sky never mixes with anything, also this embodied soul never mixes. The sky, due to its subtle nature, does not mix with anything, although it is all-pervading. Similarly, the soul, situated in Brahman vision, does not mix with the body,

This is already explained in detail, in previous slokam-s. Hereafter one should know about "Atma". Lord Krishna narrates : the 20 Sadhanas ( Jnana-sadhana-s ) to attain the Jnanam about "Atma". These makes a person fit for "Atmasakskatkaram". A must for all who wants to know "Atma". Slokam-8 to 12, count them one by one for us : 1. Amanitvam is absence of desire for honour due to reverence and humilty.  2. Adambhitva is lack of pride due to simplicity and absence of duplicity. Adambhitvam means to be without pride. 3. Ahimsa is non-violence to others by thought, word or action.  Ahimsa is not causing pain to other living beings,  4. Ksantih is tolerance, forbearance even when antagonised.  Ksantih is tolerance in the face

( Bhakti-yogam ) Slokam-2. : The devotee who does Upasana ( Prayer/ meditate..so on ) to Paramatma in the "Saakaara bhaavam" ( VIGRAHA-ARADHANA/ IMAGE OR SOME SORT OF OBJECT WORSHIP), What are the gunas ( qualities ) required to such person? - this is told in this slokam. ................................................................ Introduction :- The first slokam of this chapter starts with Arjuna's doubts about Bhakti-yogam. The seekers are two types. 1. one who worship through vigrah-aradhana ( saakaara-bhaavam)( image or statue or object worship ). and 2. worship without the supports of objects ( niraakaara-bhavam). Both groups are yogies,-if so , who among the two is more "Sreshtan" ( Superior). Arjuna's question is - Is it possible to attain Paramatma through image worship, an image with its limitations how becomes the symbol of Paramatma? How can a wave repres
