One becomes alive... a body becomes alive when it has a beating heart. Apart from the beating heart... the body... the form of a human being can function properly only when the brain is properly working. Brain in a human being is the controller of all things physical. Instructions to all parts of the body are received and sent by brain. If the brain stops functioning... the human being becomes clinically dead.

Every organ in the body plays its own part. The death of the organ does not necessarily indicate the death of the body. If one loses one eye or even both eyes... one becomes blind, yet survives! But in absence of the brain... nothing survives... the body practically becomes dead! The moment the soul atman within the body leaves... the body immediately decays and dies!

Our soul atman acts like a battery for the body. The moment it is removed... the body becomes worthless! Brain simply acts as the controller of the body... the controller of all functions physical! After the death of the body... the soul atman that resides within the heart leaves to manifest another body. If matching parents are available on Mother Earth... it immediately manifests another body! A new journey of life starts!

Our soul atman resides within our heart. We can never see our soul atman but only feel its presence. Those who travel the path of absolute truthfulness hear the sweet small inner voice of our soul atman within that always prompts us on the right path from time to time. It never guides us on the wrong path! The working of the soul in the body is governed by the doctrine of karma.

Every soul atman manifests a body to work out its karma. On its own no soul atman can remove the impurities within. Like the metal in an ore cannot separate itself and requires proper mining machinery... our soul atman requires a body to work out its karma and remove the dross within.
