yathānalo dāruṣu bhinna īyate 
    yathānilo deha-gataḥ pṛthak sthitaḥ 
    yathā nabhaḥ sarva-gataṁ na sajjate 
    tathā pumān sarva-guṇāśrayaḥ paraḥ
yathā—just as; analaḥ—the fire; dāruṣu—in wood; bhinnaḥ—separate; īyate—is perceived; yathā—just as; anilaḥ—the air; deha-gataḥ—within the body; pṛthak—separate; sthitaḥ—situated; yathā—just as; nabhaḥ—the sky; sarva-gataṁ—all-pervading; na—not; sajjate—mix; tathā—similarly; pumān—the living entity; sarva-guṇaśrayaḥ—although now the shelter of the modes of material nature; paraḥ—transcendental to material contamination.

This is the philosophy of  acintya-bhedābhedatattva  propounded by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. According to the reactions of  karma , the living being appears separate from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but actually he is very intimately related with the
