Presence of Soul Atman
in the Body

The prime reason why we cannot bring people back to life is... once our soul atman leaves the body... our heart dies! Does this mean... the presence of a soul atman in the body is necessitated for life to exist in the cosmic system... yes, the truth is so!

Looking at other side of the table we find our soul atman being the only essence of life! It is our soul atman who is the absolute master and controller of the body and not vice versa. It is not within the capability of the body to manifest a soul atman.

In its cosmic journey ever since a soul atman started its cosmic life of 8.4 million manifestations... an earthly journey of 96.4 million years... the goal of every soul atman always remains... reaching the end of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation at the earliest!

The moment human beings reached the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) all is over for the soul atman within. Having gained absolute purity... the need for a soul atman to manifest life... to manifest a body ceases to exist!

Every soul atman starts its cosmic life cycle initially as an amoeba (single cell formation)... the first manifestation in the cosmic life cycle! It further evolves into multi-cell formation... then insect life, plant life, animal life and finally the form of human beings!

Similar as a student of class one jumps to class two... then three... then four and so on... the journey of life for a soul atman also continues in the same fashion! Every single human being before reaching the stage of human form has already passed through every form of insect, plant and animal life!

The presence of soul atman in the body is the absolute crux of life! In absence of a soul atman the body simply could not live or exist! It is our soul atman in the body that resides in our heart that needs pure oxygen to survive. The moment our heart becomes dead... it announces our soul atman leaving the body forever!

As per the doctrine of karma... after the death of the body our soul atman immediately manifests a new body... and starts a new cycle of life provided matching parents are available on Mother Earth. If matching parents are not available immediately the soul atman hibernates either in heaven (termed swarga in Hinduism) or hell (termed Naraka in Hinduism).

The hibernating souls' atmans remain in heaven or hell and no sooner matching parents become available on Mother Earth... they immediately manifest a new body and starts a new cycle of life. Understanding the definition of soul is a necessity for all human beings. Evolution is an intricate part of cosmic system in absence of which the Cosmos simply could not proceed further!

It is presence of soul atman in the body that is of significance... the human form simply a sojourn in entire life span of every soul atman! Every soul atman out of 8.4 million manifestations on the whole passes through 7.3 million manifestations in insect, plant and animal life! In the human form alone we have 1.1 million types of manifestations for reaching stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)!

For understanding underlying principle of souls atmans, Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism is the only sacred Scripture existing on Mother Earth knowing which one finally transcends life on Mother Earth... gains omniscience for all practical purposes... becomes an enlightened one! Understanding our soul atman is realizing the true self of us... the self of our inner being!
