We Are Souls Not Body

When a part of body does not function properly it can be repaired, replaced. We are neither body nor a part of body We are soul When we find it difficult to breathe, artificial respiration keeps us alive. This proves we are not the breath. When soul leaves our body we are declared dead We are soul Our body does not work on its own. Soul seated in the heart manages all internal activities of body. Our soul is fragmental part of God's body We are soul When we die our body does not go away. All can see it with their eyes. All organs can be reused in another body. Body does not die but we die. We are soul Our body is a garment worn by soul. When soul leaves our body, the body dies. Soul gets a new body, a new birth. This goes on until we get salvation We are soul
References from Bhagvad Gita BG 15.7: The embodied souls in this material world are My eternal fragmental parts. But bound by material nature, they are struggling with the six senses including the mind. BG 15.14: It is I who take the form of the fire of digestion in the stomachs of all living beings, and combine with the incoming and outgoing breaths, to digest and assimilate the four kinds of foods. BG 2.22: As a person sheds worn-out garments and wears new ones, likewise, at the time of death, the soul casts off its worn-out body and enters a new body 1 Corinthians 3:16 : Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you 28.06.2021 Submitted to Ring My Bell contest by John Anderson Syllable count checked at PS syllables counter

Unless of course we have a high caliber spiritual teacher who works with us while we are still here, helping us shed our samskaras, right? I was fortunate to have had a wonderful teacher earlier in my life but I am a stubborn woman and have not always paid attention. Loved your poem, it was right on..

A thought provoking piece from a song celestial, Bhagavad-Gita, good to know you are fond of BG, for which I have done a poetic translation

Hello Rama, Rama, I also believe that our soul goes into another body to be reborn. Blessings my friend.

This is lovely Rama. It speaks of how we are all immortal and the soul is the actual living being and the body the vessel which houses it. Nicely done. God Bless, JB

A human is neither the soul alone nor the body alone but it is the result of the union of soul and body. The body is the vehicle of the soul, while the soul is the power that moves the body. When we die and the union is dissolved each part returns to its previous state: The body to the matter and the soul to its spiritual source to God, carrying with it all experiences accumulated out of this union. We have to be very careful when we write about divine things, my dearest poetess, Rama. Your writing is an inspiring and enthusiastic one!

Thanks for your enlightening comments. Just a small attempt to tell people they are not just body, something called soul exists. God is not a figment of imagination. I put references below so that I can make them think. Take care, God bless!

yes our body is merely an interface to experience the physical realm. Thanks for your visit to my latest piece. :0)
