Soul
and Spirit Our
soul atman is not a spirit roaming freely without a physical home in the Cosmos.
Our soul atman is the real essence of life... it is our soul atman that has manifested
the body and not vice versa. It is not within the capability of a body to manifest
a soul atman.
After
the occurrence of the big bang... all souls' atmans in the Cosmos hurtle down
the cosmic journey at unimaginable speeds. As the Rolling Ball gathers moss...
these souls' atmans also gather impurities on the way. To cleanse themselves...
to regain their original pure pristine form all souls atmans manifest a cycle
of 8.4 million bodies (an earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years).
Starting
the journey as an amoeba (single cell formation)... the first manifestation in
the cosmic life cycle... it further evolves into multi-cell formation, then insect
life, plant life, animal life and finally the form of a human being. It is only
as a human being our soul atman within reaches the last leg of cosmic life...
the 8.4 millionth manifestation by reaching the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya
jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Having
gained salvation... our soul atman liberates forever from the cycle of birth and
death and goes back to the kingdom of God forever (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism)...
a point of no return! From the first manifestation to the last... the 8.4 millionth
manifestation... the crux of life is to remove the dross within our soul atman
by performing the requisite karma. This is the real essence of 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! | |
