Puruṣa-sūkta Confirmed

ānanda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibhāvitābhis tābhir ya eva nijarūpatayā kalābhiḥ goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūto govindam ādi-puruṣam tam aham bhajāmi
“The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Govinda, the one who enlivens the senses of everyone by His personal bodily rays, resides in His transcendental abode, called Goloka. Yet He is present in every nook and corner of His creation by expansion of happy spiritual rays, equal in power to His personal potency of bliss.” He is therefore simultaneously personal and impersonal by His inconceivable potency, or He is the one without a second, displaying complete unity in diversity of material and spiritual manifestations. He is separated from everything, and still nothing is different from Him.
