Soul and Body

Atma is already one with God. Everything that Atma contains is already in God in form of light. When this body takes birth, only then do the vasanas of a particular soul enter into the body. It is like ordering a shirt, waiting for the stitched shirt and wearing it. So it is with the spirit.

For the Atma, the body is just a chariot in which it can travel, yet another container. If the container is not proper and milk is poured into it, it will turn sour. Secondly if there is plenty of milk, instead of pouring into hundred small containers, you can pour it into ten large containers.

So also the Atma seeks out an eligible body based on some criteria. It is permanant matter, so it judges the body’s capacity and decides whether to use that particular body or not.

There is no seeker, there is no sought. You are God; there is nothing in this world that is alien to God. There is none other than God, there is nothing else but God. This is our only principle.
