"Atma dwells in the transformations of the Gunas forming the body. Why
should it not be bound down by the Gunas. Or if Atma is free (like
Akasa) why should it be at all in bondage? What are the indications of
Atma in bondage and of liberated Atma? Is Atma ever in bondage? (for
connection with the Gunas is eternal. _Sridhara_) or ever in liberation
(for if liberation is a state to be acquired, Atma can not be permanent.
_Sridhara_)"
