The human life is just the next series of manifestations for the soul within. Before reaching the stage of human life, the soul has already manifested 7.3 million life forms. It started the journey as an amoeba (single cell formation), then multi-cell formation, insect life, plant life and then animal life.

Every human being has passed through every conceivable form of animal life. In the past... One has lived through the form of a kitten, dog and what not! As a human being who has reached 50... Can we criticize our form when 12 years of age. No human being is supposed to criticize or reject the lower forms of life one has already passed through.

The manifest body of every being is governed by the five senses and the mind. The senses and the mind exist in insect life, plant life and also animal life. In the lower forms of life... the mind power is in its infancy and not as developed as in human beings. The prime reason why animals never exercise the power of discrimination which is so vital to human beings!

Define Awareness
Awareness is being aware of the presence of a higher power... a spirit within our body! Our soul atman that resides in our heart is the real essence of life. It is our soul atman within that has manifested the body and not vice versa. We must always remain aware that the fruits of all karma performed by us always belong to our soul atman within... the ultimate governor of life!

Define Inner Self
Our inner self... is the real self of us... our soul atman that resides within our heart! As long as the soul atman resides in the heart... it keeps on beating. The moment the soul atman leaves the body... it decays and dies! It is our inner self... our soul atman within that has manifested the present body and not vice versa. It is not within the competence of a body to manifest a soul atman.

Define Soul
Soul is that spark of life within every human being that makes life go full circle. It is the soul that has manifested the body and never otherwise.
If people say that black man have no soul, we need not run after the literal meaning. It simply implies that black man is more ruthless in their dealings compared to others. Rather the spark of life within black human beings remains inactive because of their lowly dealings.

Soul and Death
The liberated soul shall manifest a body in the next manifestation. This new body... this new manifestation would not have any connection with the previous manifestation... unlike what happened in the case of Jesus Christ. The rising of the Jesus Christ on the third day after the crucifixion is no simple deed... such deeds can be exercised by enlightened beings alone... those who have reached the stage of salvation.

Enlightenment and Soul
To find an enlightened soul in the present Kali Yuga is extremely difficult for the only reason... the manifest phase of life we are passing through is more inclined towards wanton desires and materialistic reaches.
Imagine a situation if 24 Jesus Christ manifested today... how we would recognize the seniority... whom to pray or not!
