KATHOPNISHAD CHAPTER 5 SHLOK 10

                                                             वायुर्यथैकोभुवनं प्रविष्टो

                                                            रूपं रूपं प्रतिरूपोबभूव ।

                                                            एकस्तथा सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा

                                                         रूपं रूपं प्रतिरूपोबहिश्च ॥ १0

                                       VAYUR  YARHO  BHUVANAM  PRAVISHTO

                                         RUPAM  RUPAM  PRATIRUPO  BABHUV |

                                     EKAS  TATHA  SARVABHUTA  ANTARATMA 

                                RUPAM  RUPAM  PRATIRUPAM  BAHISCHA ||10

AS THE ONE AIR, AFTER IT ENTERS THE WORLD, TAKES DIFFERENT FORMS  ACCORDING 

                                                          TO WHATEVER IT ENTERS,  

THOUGH ATMA OF DIFFERENT BHUTA IS ONE , TAKES DIFFERENT FORMS WHEN IT

                         ENTERS DIFFERENT LIVING THINGS -OUTSIDE ALL FORMS ||10

      This is similar on in the past. The air in my home is same as the air in garden or outside air . We make these manmade compartments and then talk like air is different inside the house  and out side the house The air feels different due to added things or characters like cooler or hot or humid or smells nice etc. But the air itself does not have any qualities but it acquires these qualities. And then we think of air being different outside the house than inside the house . So in this Shloka we are told that like the air appears different inside airconditioned home than out side in hot summer the air is the same. The qualities that we attribute to air are borrowed and are not that if Air . The same holds true about the Atman. The Atman is same in everyone of the living things, but when it enters different physical bodies it APPERAS different . But the Atman is same . When it is encased in physical and Astral and Causal bodies it APPEARS different. The Atman is same in every living body. But since it is encased in physical body and Astral body and feels that is what it is , it feels like the Atman is different in different living beings . The air inside and outside is same but it appears different due to qualities that are acquired  with it - hot - cold, humid and dry and bad odor or smelling great . These are are all acquired  and sometimes we get confused and feel that the air is different . But the Air is same  and same is with the ATMAN.
