Simplified Perspective

As the sun alone illuminates this entire cosmos without effort or division, the Atman—the eternal soul—illuminates the entire field of the body and mind from within. This is not two separate powers, but one consciousness expressing itself through the vehicle of matter.

When you recognize this light of awareness as the true seer within you, the illusion of separation dissolves, and you awaken to your own radiant nature that has always been whole.
