Answer 1

B: heart

"The soul is atomic in size and can be perceived by perfect intelligence. This atomic soul is floating in the five kinds of air (prana, apäna, vyäna, samäna and udäna), is situated within the HEART, and spreads its influence all over the body of the embodied living entities. When the soul is purified from the contamination of the five kinds of material air, its spiritual influence is exhibited."

in the body that breathes

Soul

Definition: In the Bible, “soul” is translated from the Hebrew ne´phesh and the Greek psy·khe´. Bible usage shows the soul to be a person or an animal or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. To many persons, however, “soul” means the immaterial or spirit part of a human being that survives the death of the physical body. Others understand it to be the principle of life. But these latter views are not Bible teachings.

What does the Bible say that helps us to understand what the soul is?

Gen. 2:7: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” (Notice that this does not say that man was given a soul but that he became a soul, a living person.) (The part of the Hebrew word here rendered “soul” is ne´phesh. KJ, AS, and Dy agree with that rendering. RS, JB, NAB read “being.” NE says “creature.” Kx reads “person.”)

1 Cor. 15:45: “It is even so written: ‘The first man Adam became a living soul.’ The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” (So the Christian Greek Scriptures agree with the Hebrew Scriptures as to what the soul is.) (The Greek word here translated “soul” is the accusative case of psy·khe´. KJ, AS, Dy, JB, NAB, and Kx also read “soul.” RS, NE, and TEV say “being.”)

1 Pet. 3:20: “In Noah’s days . . . a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.” (The Greek word here translated “souls” is psy·khai´, the plural form of psy·khe´. KJ, AS, Dy, and Kx also read “souls.” JB and TEV say “people”; RS, NE, and NAB use “persons.”)

Gen. 9:5: “Besides that, your blood of your souls [or, “lives”; Hebrew, from ne´phesh] shall I ask back.” (Here the soul is said to have blood.)

Josh. 11:11: “They went striking every soul [Hebrew, ne´phesh] that was in it with the edge of the sword.” (The soul is here shown to be something that can be touched by the sword, so these souls could not have been spirits.)

Answer 3

in the heart

hare krishna

All living beings, whether plants, animals, or humans, possess consciousness and exhibit it in varying degrees. Consciousness does not arise from matter but is a symptom of the soul, which is an irreducible element of reality. Try as they may, scientists cannot create life in a laboratory by mixing lifeless chemicals.

We are the conscious spiritual soul within the body, and our departure from the body is called death. The phrase “passed on” is, therefore, an accurate description of what takes place when someone dies.

Consciousness means self-awareness, or the sense of “I am.” It also means awareness of our own thoughts and sensations. No computer—no matter how sophisticated—is conscious.

Ordinary science cannot study spirit and its characteristic, consciousness, which are outside the purview of matter. Spirit can be studied through a spiritual science, such as that given in the Vedas.

In our original pure state, we are conscious of our eternal identity in relationship to God. Now our consciousness is absorbed in matter, and we think we are whatever body we inhabit at the moment.

Besides consciousness, other evidence suggests that our identity is separate from our bodies—for example, past-life memories and out-of-body experiences.





We souls are complete persons and don’t require the bodies we now inhabit. We have our own spiritual senses, mind, and intelligence. Our identities are unique, eternal, and unchanging, and can never be lost by merging with some homogeneous spiritual entity.

As spiritual beings, we are by constitution eternally happy and full of knowledge. Sadness, ignorance, and death are unnatural for us, and that’s why we struggle against those things in this world.

While God is infinite, we souls are small and are subordinate to Him. We exist to serve Him in love. Our intrinsic nature—our dharma—is to serve. That quality cannot be separated from us, just as heat cannot be separated from fire and sweetness cannot be separated from sugar. We will find full satisfaction only in re-discovering our unique service to God.

We have free will and some independence. We can choose to love and serve Krishna, or we can choose not to and can try to enjoy separately from Him in the material world. While in the material world, we can choose to take up spiritual practices that will re-awaken our love for Him.




We are the soul, or the conscious life force within our bodies, and we are completely different from our bodies, which are only highly complex machines.

We sit in the heart, the seat of all energies of the body. From there we experience the world through the wired machinery of the body’s senses, as well as through the more subtle energies of mind, intelligence, and ego.

Understanding the difference between body and soul—between matter and spirit—is the beginning of spiritual life and the only basis for true self-realization.

Our body is constantly changing: infancy, childhood, youth, middle age, old age, and finally death. But we, the unchangeable soul, witness this “virtual reality” from within. That’s why, even though our body changes throughout life, we always keep our sense of identity.

Matter is temporary, and spirit is eternal. Therefore we eternal souls are more important than our bodies. To understand this point is real knowledge.

We are by nature eternally happy and full of knowledge. The human body affords us the opportunity to perform spiritual activities that will free us from getting further material bodies, which are by nature full of suffering.

"Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent [the material body] there is no endurance and of the eternal [the soul] there is no change. This they have concluded by studying the nature of both." —Sri Krishna, Bhagavad-gita 2.16

Answer 4

The soul resides on the ethereal plane but it connects to us through the 7 major Chakaras.

Answer 5

D. ♥ Southern California! ♥

Seriously, I know that the soul isn't separate from the body. You ARE a soul. My soul resides in Southern California.

Genesis 2:7 → And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Ezekiel 18:4 → Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Answer 6

OK. Not so tired tonight.

Now, our bodies run on electrical impulses, right? Not only in our brains, but throughout our whole body. If our "engine" stops, our electricity fails and our bodies die, unless they get a jump start, and can support the charge.

My sister and I talk about this often; I believe that our souls are that energy, that life force that we have that can sometimes be stronger than our bodies. When we die, that energy has to go somewhere. Where does it go?

So my theory is that the soul resides in us everywhere, not just in the brain or heart or feet. The soul is the energy that keeps us alive.

This would also go a long way to explain the "idea" of ghosts.

Answer 7

Soul is spirit, has no boundaries, is everywhere. Like a drop of water in the ocean is part of the ocean, the soul is an individualized portion of the universal spirit(God if you wish) and is not a seperate entity but is part of the wholeness.

Answer 8

Soul is not a material which is fitted in one's Body. It is notional since it is the soul not the body which is mortal. As the Lord Krishna said that "Soul (Atma) ajar amr hai, Body (sharir) nashwan hai". I think it is better not to take such spiritual issues in lighter way. It may hurt the feelings of others. We are here to share the knowledge only. This platform may please not be used to ask or answer irrelevant questions.

Answer 9

The soul has never been found by man

Some say the mind is the soul

way down inside of you very deep within

Jesus said from your inner most being shall flow rivers of

living water springing up into eternal life
