Do you see with your eyes or do you see what you want to see?
You have a planet of death and life, what is your choice?

"Sadder still, to watch it die, than never to have known it. For you the blind who once could see, the bell tolls for thee." I choose life, my friend, but also transformation.(death)

The "heart" is being used as a metaphor in this case. So... that leads to the question: "what is the antithesis of this metaphorical heart?" ...The intellect? It could be that - or something in close association with it, possibly a deluded sense of self that uses the intellectual machinery of the biological brain to bolster itself, much like an angry little Pharaoh, needing to be in control of perceptual reality per se.
The heart dies and consequently the soul follows suit, as the little godhead partakes of the forbidden fruit.

According to the Bhagavad-Gita, the soul is indestructible and eternal (2.18) It neither slays not can it be slain (2.19). It is never born, never dies and after coming into existence never ceases to be. It is nitya (always), sasvatah (permanent), purana (very ancient) (2.20). At the time of death the soul does not die. It just leaves the body and then enters into a new one (2.22). Weapons cannot pierce it, fire cannot burn it, water cannot moisten it and wind cannot dry it (2.23). It is unpiercible, incombustible, all pervading, stable and immobile (2.24). It is invisible, incognizible and immutable (2.25).
No one exactly know what soul is. One looks at It with great surprise, another speaks about It with great surprise, another hears about It with incredulity and yet another after hearing about It knows it not (2.29). The soul is superior to everything else in the human being. It is said that the senses are great, greater than the senses is the mind, greater than the mind is buddhi and greater than the buddhi is the Self (3.42)

The soul for one is your intellect, it is the mind of man. Second your mind and spirit live on forever, you determine where.
(Romans 12:2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Humans have a soul, true. They are a spirit being and their body is their house. The soul composes their emotions and will.

There's no such thing as a "soul".
I choose instead to believe in life.

liar, the soul dies when the BODY dies. The heart dies when the BODY dies. REALITY is life, the soul is simply a made up word to refer to someone's individuality

If the eye is wicked, then the whole body is wicked. If the eye is good, then the whole body is good. Goodness is relative to the Christ within---if Christ is within you, then you are good and your souls is saved.

The soul does not die. I choose eternal life with Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Thanks be to God.
