Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.6.3-3.6.5 & 3.6.7
"Thus when the Personality of Godhead entered into the elements by His energy, all the living entities were enlivened into different activities, just as one is engaged in his work after awakening from sleep." "When the twenty-three principal elements were set in action by the will of the Supreme, the gigantic universal form, or the viśvarūpa body of the Lord, came into existence." "As the Lord, in His plenary portion, entered into the elements of the universal creation, they transformed into the gigantic form in which all the planetary systems and all movable and immovable creations rest." "The total energy of the mahat-tattva, in the form of the gigantic virāṭ-rūpa, divided Himself by Himself into the consciousness of the living entities, the life of activity, and self-identification, which are subdivided into one, ten and three respectively." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/6/3 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/6/4 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/6/5 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/6/7
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.7.5

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.7.10,12
"The living entity is in distress regarding his self-identity. He has no factual background, like a man who dreams that he sees his head cut off." "But that misconception of self-identity can be diminished gradually by the mercy of the Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva, through the process of devotional service to the Lord in the mode of detachment." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/7/10 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/7/12
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.7.11

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.9.33
"When you are free from the conception of gross and subtle bodies and when your senses are free from all influences of the modes of material nature, you will realize your pure form in My association. At that time you will be situated in pure consciousness." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/9/33
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.25.14-15
"O most pious mother, I shall now explain unto you the ancient yoga system, which I explained formerly to the great sages. It is serviceable and practical in every way." "The stage in which the consciousness of the living entity is attracted by the three modes of material nature is called conditional life. But when that same consciousness is attached to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one is situated in the consciousness of liberation." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/25/14 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/25/15
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.25.16-17
"When one is completely cleansed of the impurities of lust and greed produced from the false identification of the body as “I” and bodily possessions as “mine,” one’s mind becomes purified. In that pure state he transcends the stage of so-called material happiness and distress." "At that time the soul can see himself to be transcendental to material existence and always self-effulgent, never fragmented, although very minute in size." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/25/16 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/25/17
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.26.7-8
"Material consciousness is the cause of one’s conditional life, in which conditions are enforced upon the living entity by the material energy. Although the spirit soul does not do anything and is transcendental to such activities, he is thus affected by conditional life." "The cause of the conditioned soul’s material body and senses, and the senses’ presiding deities, the demigods, is the material nature. This is understood by learned men. The feelings of happiness and distress of the soul, who is transcendental by nature, are caused by the spirit soul himself." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/26/7 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/26/8
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.26.71-72
"When a man is sleeping, all his material assets — namely the vital energy, the senses for recording knowledge, the senses for working, the mind and the intelligence — cannot arouse him. He can be aroused only when the Supersoul helps him." "Therefore, through devotion, detachment and advancement in spiritual knowledge acquired through concentrated devotional service, one should contemplate that Supersoul as present in this very body although simultaneously apart from it." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/26/71 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/26/72
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.27.1
"The Personality of Godhead Kapila continued: When the living entity is thus unaffected by the modes of material nature, because he is unchanging and does not claim proprietorship, he remains apart from the reactions of the modes, although abiding in a material body, just as the sun remains aloof from its reflection on water." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/27/1
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.27.2-3
"When the soul is under the spell of material nature and false ego, identifying his body as the self, he becomes absorbed in material activities, and by the influence of false ego he thinks that he is the proprietor of everything." "The conditioned soul therefore transmigrates into different species of life, higher and lower, because of his association with the modes of material nature. Unless he is relieved of material activities, he has to accept this position because of his faulty work." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/27/2 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/27/3
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.27.4
"Actually a living entity is transcendental to material existence, but because of his mentality of lording it over material nature, his material existential condition does not cease, and just as in a dream, he is affected by all sorts of disadvantages." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/27/4
