24. "These, viz, the body, the senses, breaths, mind, and thought proceed to do their functions only when charged with His (Brahman's) Amsa (presence), but not otherwise, like a unheated piece of iron. The Jiva too does obtain the *name* of the seer (for there is no distinct Jiva) only under particular states such as wakeful, etc.
