Clearly seeing the distinction between the matter and soul is discrimination. To enable a student to have the clarity, Lord Krishna Himself speaks about how the soul relates with the matter.
'Since the soul is seated in matter, it experiences the qualities born of matter. Such a contact with the qualities is the cause of its births in good and evil wombs.'
While answering Arjuna's question about Prakriti, the matter and Purusha, the individual soul, Lord Krishna accepts the apparent reality of the matter that is experienced by the soul in the transactional world.
However, the Vedanta philosophy establishes that matter has no independent reality other than that which is projected by soul that has mistaken itself to be conditioned and limited.
In reality, the soul is the Witness, the Permitter, the Sustainer, the Experiencer, the great Lord, and who is also spoken of as the transcendental Self is the supreme Person in this body.
