As the wind (having no colour of its own) assumes the colour of the substances which it has seized and tinges the different points of the horizon, similarly Individual Soul, though himself colourless, assumes a colour on account of its being enveloped by Darkness and variegated by the fruits of action, and passes from body to body.
यथाञ्जमनयो वायुः पुनर्मानःशिलं रजः। अनुप्रविश्य तद्वर्णो दृश्यते रञ्जयन् दिशः॥ तथा कर्मफलैर्देही रञ्जितस्तमसाऽऽवृतः। विवर्णो वर्णमाश्रित्य देहेषु परिवर्तते॥
