Chapter 50 presents a clear hierarchy of subtlety to explain the nature of reality. The senses are described as being subtler than the physical body, the mind is subtler than the senses, and the intellect is even subtler than the mind. However, surpassing all of these is the Supreme Soul, or Paramatma, which is described as being subtler than even the intellect. Unlike the other layers of existence, the Supreme Soul is entirely free from all worldly characteristics. It is defined as the highest supreme Truth, pure, enlightened, eternally free, and the very essence of supreme bliss for one's inner consciousness.
What is the nature of the Supreme Soul (Paramatma) and how does it compare to the mind, senses, and body?
