Soul

Every living being human, animal, bird or insect has a soul. Presence of the soul in a body keeps one alive. Departure of the soul, causes death. Therefore, bodies of people and animals are pure as long as the soul is present, they are impure after the soul leaves.

Soul stays at one place in a body, but it affects the whole body; just like a lit candle, placed at one place, brightens the whole room.

Soul’s place is near the heart in the body.

Soul is so fine in size, that it cannot be seen with the naked eye or with the help of a microscope.

Soul enters the body with food, drinks, air or through the pores of the skin. First, it gets into the male, at the time of mating, it goes into the female.

Soul is not capable of doing anything without a body. It performs actions only with the help of a body.

Knowledge, effort, desire, resentfulness, happiness and sadness are the qualities of a soul. Dead body is without a soul, therefore, lacks these qualities.

A body changes, because of the presence of a soul. Right from the conception, the growth begins, because of the presence of the soul. There is no growth without a soul.

Soul is never born; it never dies; it always exists.

Weapon can not cut a soul, fire cannot burn it, water cannot spoil it, and air cannot dry it.

Soul, by itself, is neither a male, nor a female, nor an unisex. Its sex depends upon the body it gets. Same soul may move from male to female bodies or vice versa, but only after the death of the present one.
