1. Just as a clear crystal ( itself colourless ) appears red , blue , yellow , etc , according to the background , so also the Self , pure and untainted , seems to be identical with the body , the senses , the mind , intellect or blissful ignorance ( panchakosas ) when in contact with them .
2. On account of union with the five sheaths , the pure Atman appears to be like them , as is the case with a crystal , which appears to be endowed with such colours as blue or red when in contact with a blue or red cloth .
3. In its identification with the five-sheaths the Immaculate Atman appears to have borrowed their qualities upon Itself ; as in the case of a crystal which appears to gather unto itself colour of its vicinity ( blue cloth , etc ) .
