The soul not only differs from the body... the relationship between the soul and the body is like a body wearing a garment... the body being the soul and the garment... the body! Every soul atman manifests a chain of bodies (8.4 million manifestations altogether) to cleanse itself of the impurities within (the dross within).

As the metal in an ore cannot separate itself on its own... the impurities within the soul cannot be removed on its own. The soul in the process initially manifests the form of an amoeba (single cell formation)... the first manifestation! It further evolves into multi-cell formation, insect life, plant life, animal life and finally the form of a human being.

It is only as a human being... the soul within can regain its lost pure pristine original form. Only as a human being shall soul atman secure its final release from the cycle of birth and death. It is only when a human being gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha)... does the soul atman within go to the kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism)... a point of no return!
