Karika 20
तस्मात्तत्संयोगादचेतनं चेतनावदिव लिङ्गम्। गुणकर्तृत्वे च तथा कर्तेव भवत्युदासीनः ॥२०॥
Therefore, by its union, the body without spirit gets recognized as living and with spirit. Because of Purusha's indifferent and lethargic nature, he gets recognized as a doer, though qualities are the instruments.
It is critical to recognize the indifferent and lethargic nature of purusha as a defect and the cause of it recognizing itself as an instrument.

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय। तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय। मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय। ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति: ॥ - बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद् 1.3.28
"Ōm! Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. Let there be peace, peace, and peace. Ōm!" - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28
