The existence of your body and the existence of your soul are two entirely different matters , never the twain shall meet , and they only appear to meet by the power of the flickering illusory energy.
Like oil on water, the soul’s only true existence is within the same substance as itself , those energies are made of the same pure blissful consciousness, which expands into spiritual varigatedness along with personality .
The Vedas clearly defines the sciences of consciousness both in its conditioned and liberated state ..
Get yourself liberated.

No one really knows how the sun functions.
For instance, it’s a puzzle why its temperature is cooler nearer to its surface .
The Vedas say its light and energy have been transformed from an energy called the Bramhajyoti.
The elecro magnetic energy are also transformed from the same source that atoms , elements, and compounds exist in , the whole of the material energy rests on the Bramhajyoyi .

In Bhagavad Gita different paths to purity of consciousness are given .

Jnana yoga and its perfection are achieved by detachment and developing knowledge of the natures of the material energies as well as its complexity and its entanglements.
This process of developing knowledge and detachment is not perfection but brings one to the brink .
Perfection comes from loving devotion and relationships with Divinity.
The karma yoga path is for the many , by engaging ones nature in religious and dutiful works under the directions of theological sciences, automatically the consciousness rises in quality , automatically jnana, ie.  knowledge and detachment develop , and the mind and senses are regulated and purified.
Obviously, there are crossovers and some natural mixture of liking for karma or jnana , which fluctuates and should eventually bring the Karma yogis to strong knowledge and detachment .
Bhakti is superior to both , and pure bhaki is bestowed by the blessings of Krishna and primarily his pure devotee .
The idea is through good karma yoga and development of jnana, this pure  goodness of consciousness is built up within the heart , and the heart becomes qualified to understand and practice pure Bhakti yoga. It becomes receptive, and more and more blessings are received through the Diksa or Siksa gurus, and one can then  obtain pure Krishna consciousness. Sadhu sanga and Sastra sanga decend by mercy.
