यथा प्रसुप्तं पुरुषं प्राणेन्द्रियमनोधियः ।
प्रभवन्ति विना येन नोत्थापयितुमोजसा ॥ ७१ ॥ yatha prasuptam purusam
pranendriya-mano-dhiyah
prabhavanti vina yena
notthapayitum ojasa
yatha-just as; prasuptam-sleeping; purusam-a man; prana-the vital air; indriya-the senses for working and recording knowledge; manah-the mind; dhiyah-the intelligence; prabhavanti-are able; vina-without; yena-whom (the Supersoul); na-not; utthapayitum-to arouse; ojasa-by their own power.
TRANSLATION
When a man is sleeping, all his material assets-namely the vital energy, the senses for recording knowledge, the senses for working, the mind and the intelligence-cannot arouse him. He can be aroused only when the Supersoul helps him.
PURPORT
The explanation of saṅkhya philosophy is described here in detail in the sense that the virata-purusa, or the universal form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the original source of all the various sense organs and their presiding deities. The relationship between the virata-purusa and the presiding deities or the living entities is so intricate that simply by exercising the sense organs, which are related to their presiding deities, the virata-purusa cannot be aroused. It is not possible to arouse the virata-purusa or link with the Supreme Absolute Personality of Godhead by material activities. Only by devotional service and detachment can one perform the process of linking with the Absolute.
