organs. the brain is the meeting place
of all nerves, which carry sensations
from all parts of the body to brain
which functions like a control-room
and makes the body to work. it is
in the brain that the soul, through
the nerves, puts the body to work
and experiences physical sensations,
pleasure and pain or happiness and
sorrow. But, the brain is separate from
the soul, brain is a complex thing
made of matter whereas the soul has
the life-principal or consciousness.
Nature of Soul
a soul is a tiny, metaphysical, conscient
point of spiritual light. there are a
fnite number of souls. Each soul is
eternal. they were never created, and
will never be destroyed. Each soul is
unique. we are all souls, unique and
diferent and remain so eternally. as
such, souls are invisible to the naked
eyes, but one can experience its
presence. a soul has no gender.
the intrinsic nature of the soul is
that of love, peace, happiness, truth,
bliss, purity. therefore, souls always
desire for experiences of these
qualities. these are the qualities that
naturally emerge when the soul is
aware of itself, or in other words, is
soul-conscious.
he soul is a living or a sentient being.
it is said to be conscient or living
because it can think and refect; it can
experience pleasure and pain, so also
bliss and peace; it can bestir itself and
make eforts and actions good or
bad. a soul has three faculties mind,
intellect and predispositions.
mind is the thinking faculty of
the soul. it is the mind that imagines,
thinks and forms ideas. the thought
process is the basis of all emotions,
desires and sensations. it is through
this faculty that, in an instant,
thoughts can be projected to a
distant place, past experiences and
emotions can be relived or even the
future can be anticipated. it is the
mind that experiences the variations
of moods. the mind is a faculty of the
metaphysical soul, not be confused
with the heart or the brain.
intellect is used to assess thoughts.
this is the faculty of understanding
and decision-making which stands
out as the most crucial faculty of
the three. with the deepening and
broadening of the intellect, clear
understanding and the realization
of the knowledge becomes natural,
and the power to decide and reason
becomes clear. it is the intellect which
remembers, discriminates, judges and
exercises its power in the form of will.
Predispositions (called sanskaras
in hindi) are the impressions
or subconsciousness which is
the record of all the souls past
experiences and actions. sanskaras
can take the forms of habits, talents,
emotional temperaments, personality
traits, beliefs, values or instincts. Every
action as an experience either creates
a sanskar ( this is how a habit begins)
or reinforces an old one. whatever
impression is etched in the soul
remains within it, forming a complete
archive of all the experiences that
the soul has had. when we speak
of defects, specialties or virtues, we
are referring to the sanskaras. the
sanskaras are the basis of the souls
individuality.
Seat of the Soul
the soul is located in the middle of
the forehead in between the two
eyebrows. this is the seat of the soul.
the brain is the control-room. Just as
a driver controls the car using diferent
parts of the mechanism seated at one
place, the soul employs the brain to
control the body. Brain is the machine
by means of which the soul thinks,
remembers, receives messages from
or gives directions to the sense-
