TRANSLATION
As the chariot of air carries odor from its source and catches immediately the smelling or sense, similarly one who is constantly engaged in devotional service in Krsna consciousness can catch the Supreme Soul, who is equally present everywhere.
PURPORT
As a breeze carrying nice odor from the garden of flowers at once capture the smelling organ, similarly the…, one's consciousness, saturated with devotion, can at once capture the transcendental existence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Supreme Personality of Godhead in His Paramatma feature is present everywhere and in the heart of every living being. As it is stated in the Bhagavad-gita that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is also ksetra-jna, it means present within this body, but He is present in every body. The individual soul is present only in a particular body, but the Supreme Soul is present in all the bodies simultaneously without being perturbed. An individual soul is present in a particular body, but the other individual soul in another particular body, they appear to be altered because one individual soul does not cooperate with another individual soul. But the Supersoul is equally present. The individual soul may disagree, but the Supersoul is equally present in every body. Therefore, He is called unchange, avikari. So similarly the individual soul, when he's fully saturated in Krsna consciousness, he can understand the presence of the Supersoul along with him. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita [Bg 18.55] that bhaktya mam abhijanati-simply a person saturated in devotional service or in full Krsna consciousness can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, either as Supersoul or as the Supreme Person.
