प्रधानाद्वैधयुक्तानां दह्यते कर्मजं रजः ॥ १२.२५९.५ ॥
This is what is thought of the self by all, whether sleeping or waking; in those yoked to diversity from the primal nature, the passion born of action is burnt away.

Among them the eternal soul of beings, always joined with the qualities, endowed with seven subtle ones, moves on, ageless and deathless.

स्वप्नेष्वपि भवत्येष विज्ञाता सुखदुःखयोः ॥ १२.२५९.८ ॥
Overcome by mind and intellect, knowing his own body and others' bodies, he too becomes the one who knows pleasure and pain even in dreams.
12.259.9
तत्रापि लभते दुःखं तत्रापि लभते सुखम् ।
कामं क्रोधं च तत्रापि कृत्वा व्यसनमृच्छति ॥ १२.२५९.९ ॥

Having entered the warmth, he too attains the state of the womb; dwelling in the belly for ten months, he is not digested like food.
12.259.12
तमेतमतितेजोंशं भूतात्मानं हृदि स्थितम् ।
तमोरजोभ्यामाविष्टा नानुपश्यन्ति मूर्तिषु ॥ १२.२५९.१२ ॥
That soul of beings, this portion of exceeding brilliance abiding in the heart, those possessed by darkness and passion do not perceive among forms.
12.259.13
योगशास्त्रपरा भूत्वा स्वमात्मानं परीप्सवः ।
तमोरजोभ्यां निर्मुक्तास्तं प्रपश्यन्ति मूर्तिषु।
