The Supreme Soul in this body is also called the spectator, the permitter, the supporter, the enjoyer, the great Lord and the Supreme Self.

The supreme person in this body is also called the witness, the one who consents, the sustainer, the experiencer, the great lord and the supreme self.

Krishna names the highest presence in the body with a series of titles. It is the upadraṣṭṛ, the witness standing near; the anumantṛ, the one who permits or approves; the sustainer; the experiencer; the great lord; and the paramātman, supreme self. These names describe a presence that watches and upholds without being caught in what it watches. Traditions differ on how this supreme person relates to the individual self: some see them as one, others as distinct yet intimately joined. All agree that the body houses more than a limited ego.
