    How does the Self move and not move?
    SELF is like space. It is inside and outside both. Wherever you go the space is there. The same way, SELF being all pervading is everywhere. It is inside and outside as well.
    It moves when it is a reflected consciousness but when the pure consciousness is seen it does not move.

    How is the Self both far and near?

    It is about the realization of Self. For an Ignorant person who is not aware of the concept of Self and is completely engrossed with Dehabhimaan and Upadhis, He may not even realize even after hundreds of crores of years.
    But for a Gyani or wise, he knows that he doesn’t need to find the self anywhere, but it is himself. There can’t be anything closer than this.

    How is delusion and sorrow ended, as per the upaniṣad in verse 7?
    In the verse, “ekatvananupashyat” is the explanation for the end of delusion and sorrow.
    Once you realize that all the objects are nothing but the reflection of you only, there won’t be any such feeling.
    It happens only because of the Dehabhiman. Whatever is suitable to you brings delusion and whatever is not favorable or favorable to others bring sorrow.
    For the wise there is no soka and no moha.
    In Geeta also it is said that “Yoga Samatvam Uchyate” Which means to maintain the feeling of equanimity by the realization.

    SELF is ever pervading. Also, the reflected concious is the engine for the Manah. As the reflected conciousness provides the required energy to the manah and the thoughts, therefore where ever the manah goes it finds the reflected conciousness there.
    Thats the reason, it is said that the SELF is faster than mind. SELF overtakes the thoughts and also it overtakes the Indriyas.

    Mātariśva is also known as Hiranyagarbha, which is a form of Ishwara only. In the presence of Conciousness, Hiranyagarbha enjoys all the duties done by the Devas.

    Apparent contradictions are that at one place the Atman is said to be Sthira and on the other hand it said to move faster than mind. Thus, at one place it is said to be stationary and at the other point it is moving.
    The reason to provide this contradiction is to shake your mind and understand that SELF is all pervading, it is everywhere and since it doesn’t change it is stationary also.

    For whom does the upaniṣad prescribe duty to be performed and why?

    The dutyis prescribed by the upanisad for the people who follow the Pravritti Marg.
    Being in the pravritti marg, it is the responsibility of an individual to take care of all who are dependents and associated to him.
    Also, this marg is for the ones who can not leave the desires. To fulfill the desires it is advised by the upanishads to do the Sakaam Karma which will further help in reaching to the Niskam Karma

    How is kurvan eva (verse 2) indicating niṣkāma-karma?

    Since the Karma or the duties is part of the Pravritti Marg, the Verse 2 is indicated for the ones who have desires and wish to work for it.
    Therefore, it is advised that the person fulfills the duties through sakaam karma which will help him to achieve Niskaam karma. And the desires associated will finally cease to exist.

    Why should one have the notion of īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam and what is its result?
    This notion helps to make one understand that everything is all pervaded by God and is conveying the mahavakya ” Tat Tvam Asi”.
    It also helps one to get rid of all the desires. When everything is you, what is the need to have a desire for it?
