Shri Purohit Swami

इस संसारमें जीव बना हुआ आत्मा मेरा ही सनातन अंश है; परन्तु वह प्रकृतिमें स्थित मन और पाँचों इन्द्रियोंको आकर्षित करता है (अपना मान लेता है)।

इस जीव लोक में मेरा ही एक सनातन अंश जीव बना है। वह प्रकृति में स्थित हुआ (देहत्याग के समय) पाँचो इन्द्रियों तथा मन को अपनी ओर खींच लेता है अर्थात् उन्हें एकत्रित कर लेता है।
