Supreme consciousness sustains everything in the universe; its real seat is in everyone's heart. Living beings carry out their daily lives using memory and knowledge, which also come from the Self. Even when knowledge is absent due to overwhelming delusion, the Self is still present.
Lord Krishna, fully identifying Himself with the Self, declares, "I am also the originator of the Vedanta, and I Myself am the knower of the Vedas."
Before we attempt to realize the Self, we need to understand the nature of perishable matter and the individual soul operating through the matter. Lord Krishna refers to both of them as 'Purusha'.
Among these, matter is perishable, and the individual soul remains imperishable due to the countless births it undergoes until realizing the Self or uniting with Reality.
