Paramātmā
How is the accompanying and governing presence within described?
The Gītā describes an inner witness, permitter, supporter and knower, while also distinguishing the individual knower. Map each title to its verse before combining them into a systematic account.
The individual self and the Supreme Self are discussed in close relation. Similar vocabulary does not erase the distinction the passages themselves make.
