And that is none other than you (Jeevo Brahmaiva Na Parah).But I still hold to the core philosophy of Advaita. I believe, beyond all attributes/gunas, there exists only a Single, Conscious entity, dreaming the Universe.
There is no soul. BhagwadGeeta is talking about illusory beings that we are. when we understand the truth perfectly, we come to know that we are none other than Brahman. We also come to understand that birth and death also are Maya, really no one is born and no one dies.
BhagwadGeeta is explaining some very deep philosophy and for the purpose of explanation it has pegged the knowledge on someone like Krishna. Krishna is anthromorphised Indian wisdom. It is not correct to take a literal meaning and think that Krishna is a human or an avatara.
If you take a literal meaning then it will say that Vasudeva's sperm and Devaki's ovum merged to form the cell which developed into Lord Krishna. Would you like your Purushottam Parabrahman to be born like that? Understand that these are only stories carrying some message for the welfare of the society.

I'm not sure what your trying to convey here. Would you mind rephrasing it?Firstly if there were darkness, there was a coiled rope, but one did not see a snake then they would not assume that the rope is a snake as they would not have seen the snake in the first place
