My soul atman is an independent entity in the whole of Cosmos... it is one and only one! Like the different pieces of a puzzle... every individual piece being different... all souls atmans in the Cosmos have different entity. Essence of all souls' atmans being same still, all souls' atmans retain their individuality. Nothing in the Cosmos can duplicate any soul atman.

Every soul atman is pure energy that survives in temperatures exceeding million of degrees centigrade. It is only when a soul atman manifests a body... it resides in the heart of one! The chemical composition of salt is sodium and chloride both of which are sheer poison. When combined together they become stable and eatable. Similarly, the soul atman after manifesting a body survives in the cool confines of every heart.

Every soul atman contains impurities within. To cleanse itself of impurities within every soul atman manifests a cycle of 8.4 million bodies that gets completed in an earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years... a long journey indeed! Having reached the stage of human being means we have already traveled the cosmic cycle of 7.3 million manifestations. In the human form alone we have 1.1 million manifestations.

Does it mean that for a human being to reach the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) we have a long cosmic cycle of 1.1 million manifestations (and an earthly cycle of 12.1 million years)... yes the truth is so! Achieving the stage of enlightenment and finally salvation (moksha) is not that simple... in the last about 150 years only two persons gained enlightenment amongst 6500 million people living on Mother Earth... they were Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana.

The ultimate crux of life lay in the fact that every human being come whatever may has to reach the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation one-day! None can escape this cosmic cycle... it is inevitable! Whether we do it now in this life or many manifestations henceforth is pure prerogative of every human being. The journey of life for a soul atman from the stage of amoeba (first manifestation) and to the last as an enlightened human being... is a cosmic process! None can alter this.

Define Soul
A soul (aka atman in Hinduism) is pure cosmic energy... much beyond the comprehension of most human beings! The spirit as detailed in Christianity and our soul atman within means the same. The definition of soul atman has been wrongly interpreted in Christianity. It is our soul atman that manifests the human form to work out its karma... remove impurities within!

Human Soul
The human Soul... the cosmic spirit... a cluster of pure celestial energy is not different from soul atman within an insect, plant or an animal! The only variance being the level of purity! The human form is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle of soul atman within. It is the human soul that has manifested the body and not vice versa.

Do Animals have a Soul
If we try to understand the complete analogy of the spiritual system... the cosmic system built by God Almighty... all becomes absolutely clear! Whether animals have a soul atman or insects have a soul atman within is not further debatable! We only need to understand why God made the Cosmos in the first place!

Define Soul Spirit
The soul and the spirit mean the same. The soul atman is of the form of pure cosmic energy! The spirit within every human being... the soul atman within our heart is God Almighty in minuscule form... the essence of all being the same! To remove the dross within (impurities within) every soul atman manifests a cycle of 8.4 million manifestations to work out its karma. It is our soul atman that has manifested the body and not vice versa.

Reincarnation of Soul
I not only believe that our soul atman lives on after the death of the body... I am practically a living example of that! Having realized God in 1993... I reached the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! This is my last life as a soul atman! Having gained absolute purity I have nowhere else to go but to the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). I have reached the Mount Everest of my spiritual pursuit!
