Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.27.10
"One should be situated in the transcendental position, beyond the stages of material consciousness, and should be aloof from all other conceptions of life. Thus realizing freedom from false ego, one should see his own self just as he sees the sun in the sky." https://vedy.online/en/sb3/27/10
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.27.12-13
"The presence of the Supreme Lord can be realized just as the sun is realized first as a reflection on water, and again as a second reflection on the wall of a room, although the sun itself is situated in the sky."

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.27.17-19
"Śrī Devahūti inquired: My dear brāhmaṇa, does material nature ever give release to the spirit soul? Since one is attracted to the other eternally, how is their separation possible?" "As there is no separate existence of the earth and its aroma or of water and its taste, there cannot be any separate existence of intelligence and consciousness." "Hence even though he is the passive performer of all activities, how can there be freedom for the soul as long as material nature acts on him and binds him?" https://vedy.online/en/sb3/27/17 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/27/18 & https://vedy.online/en/sb3/27/19

He is different from the jīva soul, or individual living entity, who is combined with the senses, the five elements and consciousness."

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.30.4-6
"The living entity, in whatever species of life he appears, finds a particular type of satisfaction in that species, and he is never averse to being situated in such a condition." "The conditioned living entity is satisfied in his own particular species of life; while deluded by the covering influence of the illusory energy, he feels little inclined to cast off his body, even when in hell, for he takes delight in hellish enjoyment." "Such satisfaction with one’s standard of living is due to deep-rooted attraction for body, wife, home, children, animals, wealth and friends.

Therefore, without the Lord’s mercy, how can he again engage in the transcendental loving service of the Lord?" https://vedy.online/en/sb3/31/15

I am trying to explain our factual position." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/28/61
