Von den Veden bin Ich der Sāma Veda; von den Halbgöttern bin Ich Indra, der König des Himmels; von den Sinnen bin Ich der Geist, und in den Lebewesen bin Ich die Lebenskraft [Bewußtsein].

The difference between matter and spirit is that matter has no consciousness like the living entity; therefore this consciousness is supreme and eternal. Consciousness cannot be produced by a combination of matter.
