The Soul Is One

The soul is one.
The soul is changeless, nameless, and formless. Until we understand the soul, we live in fear.

Scholars may study the soul through words; but unless they know the soul within themselves, their scholarship merely emphasizes their ignorance, and increases their fear.

Thus, the soul is the common vital entity in every living being.
The soul is than all things  a living being could have.
When people realize that only the soul is truly dear to them, then that which is very dear to them, will never ever perish. Soul lives on. Our body is just a home to our dearest soul.

In Bhagavad Gita 2.20 Lord Krishna describes the atma in the following way :

"na jayate mriyate va kadacin 'nayam bhutva bhavita va na bhuyah 'ajo nityah sasvato yam purano 'na hanyate hanyamane sarire "

"For the atma there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever – existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain". [1]

Srila Prabhupada, a great Vaishnava saint of the modern time further explains: "The atma does not take birth there, and the atma does not die... And because the atma has no birth, he therefore has no past, present or future. He is eternal, ever-existing and primeval – that is, there is no trace in history of his coming into being. [2]


There is neither death nor immortality.
There is nothing to distinguish the night from day.
There is no wind or breath.
There is neither existence nor non-existence; there is no atmosphere, no sky, and no realm beyond the sky.Other than God, there is nothing.

The darkness is swallowed into darkness. All was liquid and formless.
The Universe is empty just filled with more darkness deeper as it goes, dark is what it ends with.

What power is there?
Where is that power?
Who is that power?
Is it finite or infinite?

A seed of the soul that it is the bond between existence and non-existence.

Who really knows what happened?
Who can describe it?
How were things produced?
Where was creation born?
When the universe was created, the one became many?
How did the dark empty space airless Universe created?
Who knows how this occurred?

Within this cycle of creation and destruction of the Universe, the soul (atma) also undergoes its own version of cycle, the cycle of rebirth in which individual souls are repeatedly reincarnated.
We share our body and we live when the cycle ends. Life goes on different time, space and shapes.

"The soul is God, and God is the soul;
"God is in the Soul and the Soul is in the God."
"The soul is divine; divine is the soul". It can be described in various ways.

As we believe the soul is an entity or "spiritual spark" or "light" in our body because of which the body can sustain life. On the departure of this entity from the body, the body becomes lifeless.

The soul is the ‘driver’ in the body. It is the spirit or atma, the presence of which makes the physical body alive.

In many religious and philosophical traditions, support the view that the soul is the ethereal substance maybe a spirit; a non material light. Such traditions often consider the soul both immortal and innately aware of its immortal nature, as well as the true basis in each living being.

The concept of the soul has strong links with notions of an afterlife, but opinions may vary wildly even within a given religion as to what happens to the soul after death. Many within these religions and philosophies see the soul as immaterial, while others consider it possibly material.

Did creation happen at God's command, but how?

When he looks down upon his creation from the heaven.
Only he knows the answer or perhaps he does not know, how it all happened.

Between Universe and God what is lies is unknown and how is all was brought to live.
