The Atrocities of King Kamsa
293
iśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni yantrārūḍhāni māyayā
“The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone’s heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.” Neither the Supersoul, Paramātmā, nor the individual soul changes its original, spiritual identity. The  ātmā  does not undergo birth, death or changes like the body. Therefore a Vedic aphorism says,  asaṅgo hy ayaṁ puruṣaḥ : although the soul is conditioned within this material world, he has no connections with the changes of the material body.
TEXT 20
यथानेवंविदो भेदो यत आत्मविपर्ययः । देहयोगवियोगौ च संसृतिर्न निवर्तते ॥२०॥
yathānevaṁ-vido bhedo yata ātma-viparyayaḥ deha-yoga-viyogau ca saṁsṛtir na nivartate
yathā—as; an-evaṁ-vidaḥ—of a person who has no knowledge (about ātma-tattva and the steadiness of the ātmā in his own identity, despite the changes of the body); bhedaḥ—the idea of difference between body and self; yataḥ—because of which; ātma-viparyayaḥ—the foolish understanding that one is the body; deha-yoga-viyogau ca—and this causes connections and separations among different bodies; saṁsṛtiḥ—the continuation of conditioned life; na—not; nivartate—does stop.
TRANSLATION
One who does not understand the constitutional position of the body and the soul [ātmā] becomes too attached to the bodily concept of life. Consequently, because of attachment to the body and its by-products, he feels affected by union with and separation
