गोविन्द भाष्य (श्रील बलदेव विद्याभूषण - अचिन्त्यभेदाभेद वेदान्त ब्रह्मसूत्र भाष्य सटीक)

gṛhītvaitāni samyāti vāyur gandhān ivāśayāt "The living entity in the material world carries his different conceptions of life from one body to another as the air carries aromas. Thus he takes one kind of body and again quits it to take another."* If someone says that the soul actually never goes anywhere, although it seems to go places because of the misidentification of the external material body as the self, then I say this is a foolish idea. In the following words the Kauśītakī Upaniṣad refutes this idea: sa yadāsmāt śarīrāt samutkrāmati sahaivaitaiḥ sarvair utkrāmati "At the time of death the soul, accompanied by all his powers, leaves the material body." The word "saha" (accompanied by) is used when the more important is accompanied by another of lesser importance. An example is the sentence: "Accompanied by (saha) his son, the father took his meal." Another example is in Bhagavad-gītā (15.4), which declares that the soul carries his different conceptions of life from one body to another as the air carries aromas. In this way the foolish example pushed forward by the impersonalists, the example of the air in the jar and in the sky, is clearly refuted. Sūtra 20 nāṇur atac chruter iti cen netarādhikārāt na—not; aṇuḥ—atom; atat—not that; śruteḥ—from the scriptures; iti—thus; cet—is; na—not; itara—other; adhikārāt—because of being appropriate. If it is claimed that the Śruti-śāstra denies the idea that the soul is atomic, then I reply that it is not so, because those descriptions apply to someone else. Purport by Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa Here someone may object: Is it not so that that the individual spirit soul is not atomic? After all, the Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad (4.4.22) affirms:
