Our soul atman resides in our heart... the prime reason why the sweet small inner voice of our soul atman that seems to come from within our heart always guides us on the right path. Traveling the path of absolute truthfulness one can distinctly hear the voice of our soul atman... never otherwise!

The soul atman of every living being resides in the heart. As long as the heart beats... the body survives. The moment our soul atman leaves the heart... the body decays and dies! It is our soul atman that has manifested the body to work out its karma... remove the impurities... the dross within. Our soul atman is the absolute master and controller of the body.

Governed by the voice of our soul atman... Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) in their lifetime! Right from the first manifestation as an amoeba (single cell formation) and to the last as human beings... the cosmic crux of life is our soul atman gaining liberation from the cycle of birth and death forever.

No sooner the soul atman regains its original pure pristine form... it gains entry into the abode of God... the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). Gaining enlightenment and finally salvation (moksha) is the ultimate goal of every soul atman. Whether we do it now or many manifestations henceforth is the sole prerogative of every human being.

Human form is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle! Only as humans can the soul atman within regain its original pure pristine form... liberate from the cycle of birth and death forever... never otherwise! Never from heaven (Swarga in Hinduism) or hell (Naraka in Hinduism) can the soul atman gain direct entry into the kingdom of God.

For the soul atman to get liberated... it needs a cosmic sojourn of 96.4 million earthly years... a total of 8.4 million manifestations on the whole! The initial 7.3 million manifestations are spent in the insect, plant and animal form. In the human form alone we have 1.1 million manifestations for human beings to reach the stage of enlightenment and salvation.

The moment one reaches the 8.4 millionth manifestation... all is over for the soul atman within! Journey in the human form is the most pleasant experience for the soul atman within. Guided by the voice of our soul atman and the power of discrimination bestowed on mankind by God Almighty... human beings finally cross the ocean of Samsara (worldly life)!

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!
