Soul or Body

Posted By: Vasishta

Do you associate yourself with the names or roles that society has given you, or the familial ties that are associated with you – the father, the mother, son, brother, or sister? The “real you” is the pure soul that uses a body to make its presence in this world. The body is like a container that contains the soul. Our beauty and physical attributes like the face, hands, etc. are all the look and feel of that container. The soul is colorless, spaceless, timeless, pure, and is the epitome of sacredness. This pure soul is also called the “self”. Our relationship to the body and the self is present.

The physical body is visible. The mind and soul are invisible and virtual. A thorough experience of the body, mind, and soul together is the epitome of life that leads from awareness to consciousness into ultimate happiness.

The self or soul is tough yet kind, it is strong yet gentle, it is unseen yet has a spectrum that knows no boundaries, and it has abundance in wealth that it can command. It is like a bright moon on a dark night. The white and pure moon just radiates in the surrounding darkness giving out that warmth and spreading love. Our true consciousness and existence are linked to the soul and we call this soul consciousness or self-consciousness.

The soul breathes life into the body through the heart, the breath that we take, the signals transmitted by the brain, and the rest of the neurological signals. When this happens, a transformation occurs resulting in the rise of body consciousness. The container gets the spotlight and is projected to the outside world while the core of the container, namely the soul, is enshrined within the body. The world sees the body while the interaction, feelings, and emotions are linked to that interior soul or self.

The confluence of soul and body is a natural state. Without the body, the soul knows no existence. It needs the body for its presence. The fusion of the body and the soul makes a complete person. A soul without a body is just space and time. A body without the soul is a dead piece of flesh and bones, and that too for a limited period after which even that will not exist.

The soul or self is the “I” in the “I AM”. The “I” is that Supreme Being, the “I” is that pure being and the “I” is all-powerful.

THE “I” IS YOU.
