The soul is the energy of life; it can neither be created nor destroyed. It is indestructible. In metapsychosis the energy gets transmitted from one medium to another. Ancients practised this transfer of energy (transmigration of souls). The Gita says, "In death, all are not equal-circumstances, age, maturity of the deceased, all these factors, determine post-death consequences."
