The Nature of Your Soul
The Nature of Your Soul
We each have a soul, but because we are each observing from a different place and a different set of experiences, we do not observe the same things in exactly the same ways. The variations in what we observe are based on our minds’ interpretations. Our minds interpret the observation differently.
Interpretation happens at the level of the mind, but it is our individual souls that are conditioned by experience, and through that memory of past experience the soul influences our choices and interpretations in life.
These tiny kernels or seeds of memory build up in the individual soul over a lifetime, and this combination of memory and imagination based on experience is called karma.
Karma accumulates in the personal part of the soul, the wave at the core of our being, and colors it. This personal soul governs the conscience and provides a template for the kind of person each of us will turn out to be. In addition, the actions we take can affect this personal soul, and change our karma, for better or worse.
The universal, nonlocal part of the soul is not touched by our actions, but is connected to a spirit that is pure and unchanging. In fact, the definition of enlightenment is “the recognition that I am an infinite being seeing and seen from, observing and observed from, a particular and localized point of view.”
Whatever else we are, no matter how much of a mess we may have made of our lives, it is always possible to tap into the part of the soul that is universal, the infinite field of pure potential, and change the course of our destiny.

The Soul is in all beings and this Soul is not different from God. Even though it stays in the body, nothing affects it. It remains the same even in ignorance. By accepting the body as our and for us, we have given the body an existence and importance. The body is not important. The body is constantly changing. Not a single second passes without the body changing.
The Soul on the other hand is always same, at all times. It is stable. It is fixed. Our mistake is that we feel that the Soul changes along with the body. This is a myth and is incorrect. The body is a part of the world. It gets its characteristic from the world which is also constantly changing. The Soul never changes. The Soul is not the doer and nor does it experience anything. The doer is the body and it is the body which experiences. The Soul is situated in the body, but does not do or experience anything.
The main obstacle that we have created is that we have accepted the body as ours. The soul does not do anything nor does it get attached to anything. Once you realise/experience this, there is no ego left. The ‘I’ disappears and merges with the ‘One’. For example, the sky (space) is everywhere but is not attached to anything.
To remain unattached and stable in all circumstances is an art in itself. We should not get attached because our Self, i.e. our Soul is not attached or connected with anything. Nothing can affect our Self, because we are detached from everything. We are already free. We have to do nothing to become free. You are not the body. Accept that you are not the doer. You cannot and do not experience anything. It all happens in your body.
The department of the body and soul are totally different. The Soul is God’s World and the body is our world. Start living in God’s world and you will attain everlasting happiness – the ultimate goal of Human Life.
Beautiful wisdom, Surendra! This is exactly what we all have to come to realize! :love:
