Soul is Power

M N Kaul   Ed S L Shakdhar  

"All rose to do the task He set to each

who shaped us to His ends not our own-Shelley

Soul is unbounded, holy, pure and perfect. In fact these are the attributes of all powerful being That is God. Naturally it (soul) must possess all these qualities as the soul is derived from all pervading being Essentially soul is the power derived from God. However, though soul comes from God but it does not come straight from God. It has travelled through many bodies.

The moral, ethical and spiritual relations between soul and soul, and between individual soul and the powerful being, are there were there and would remain there.

All that we see in this universe has each got power (soul) behind it. If all souls are unalloyed, all men should think and act alike, but as a matter of fact this is not so.

In this universe each individual object is different from another object. This naturally means that all the souls are different and are at different stages in their path of perfection. That is why we always conceive of all souls as being different from each other and different from all powerful beings.

Birth and death are nothing but experiments for the soul to evolve

Poet Wordsworth has said.

On perfection the soul flies to Him.

Our birth is but a sleep and forgetting.

In other words our birth is meditation and one

must rise above the material aspects of life
