1 Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 15 - Purushottama Yoga - Sloka 7

Everything is filled with Krishna

Mama eva amshah jiva loke jiva bhutah sanatanah I

Manah shashtani indriyani prakriti sthani karshati II sloka 7

मम एव अंशः जीव लोके जीव भूतः सनातनः I 

मनः शश्तानि इन्द्रियाणि प्रकृति स्थानि कर्षति II श्लोक 7

The  everlasting self (Jivatman), having become the bound self in the world of life, attracts the senses, of which the mind is the sixth and which abides in prakriti.

That self, whose nature has been described thus, though an everlasting self, becomes the bound individual self in the world of life. Covered by ignorance in the form of beginningless karma, it attracts to itself the five senses and the mind, which are located in the bodies of gods, men, etc., which are particular transformations of prakriti. Some of the individual selves, becoming free from ignorance (Avidya) remain in their own intrinsic nature. But the bound individual self is very much contracted in power and knowledge. The individual self is the lord of the senses and the mind in bodies, and forms a bound individual in combination with a particular transformation of prakriti through karma. Thus karma attracts the selves hither and thither according to its nature.
