Krishna explains consciousness continues eternally, even after the body's demise. Two metaphors used to illustrate this concept: (a) The wave-water metaphor demonstrates how shifting identity from the temporary wave to the eternal water solves existential dilemmas. It emphasizes that external change is unnecessary; only a shift in understanding is required. And (b) The cup-space metaphor likens Atma to space, showing its limitless and formless nature. It explains how Atma seems confined to a single body but is, in reality, everywhere and indivisible.
