Verse 13.32
Verse 13.32: “Just as the all-permeating Ether, by reason of its subtility, is not (liable to be) affected, so, although abiding everywhere within the body, the Self is not (liable to be) affected. (1120)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
It never happens that the sky does not exist in any place; yet it never gets defiled by the dirt (evils) of any place. In that way, although abiding in all bodies everywhere, the soul never gets besmeared in any way with the sin of the association. This is being clarified to you again and again, so that you should know that the Kshetrajna is kshetra-less.
