Bhagavad Gita 15.7
ममैवांशो जीवलोके जीवभूतः सनातनः । मनःषष्ठानीन्द्रियाणि प्रकृतिस्थानि कर्षति ॥
mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ | manaḥ-ṣaṣṭhānīndriyāṇi prakṛti-sthāni karṣati ||
Translation
A portion of myself, becoming the eternal jiva in the world of the living, draws to itself the senses with the mind as sixth, abiding in nature.
Reflection
How does identity shift when I name the source-clause of who I am?
Read this verse in its chapter: Chapter Fifteen
Now the geometry of personhood. Each jiva is amsha, a partial-share of Krishna, not a separately manufactured soul. Eternal by inheritance, not by self-construction. In the world of bodies that share tries to function and finds it has to pull. Five senses plus mind as the sixth get drawn together from prakriti like iron filings to a magnet. Whole drama of attention is that pulling. Verse changes the question from what is the self to who is doing the magnetizing? Answer placed quietly in the first word: mama, mine. Crisis of identity dissolves a little when the source-clause is heard.
