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
