An EssayOn Soul
Soul is the part of thespirit of God in the Bible. It is "Aatma "in the Sanskrit Vedic texts. Arabs call it "Rooh" in the Qur'an. But the features of it show that it is the Kinetic Energy seen in cells, shells, atoms that make materials and organs in every sphere of life. Soul may be seen as the bio-magnetic energy or atomic energy of an atom or vitality of any organism.It may be compared to the charged battery of a mobile. According to all Veda Texts Brahma, . Jehovah, or Allahare the same Creator, Protector and the Destroyer.
I would like to quote some features of the soul and Soul with reference to the Upanishads also.
"Srothrasyasrothram manasa mano yat
Vacho ha vacham sa u pranasay pranah
Chakshushaschakshurathimuchyadheerah
Prethyasmaallokadmrutha bhavanthi"-[ In brief it means, that which helps the ear to hear, mind to think, tongue to speak,life force to function, eyes to see is the soul. With out it sensory organs will not function]. According to the Bible, John,6: 63, it is the soul/spirit that enliven body not the flesh. In the view of the Qur'an, Surah Sajda,32: 7-9, Allah created from clay, liquid and blew soul from Him and gaveabilityto listen, to see and heart. Therefore soul is from the soul of theCreator whatever be thename.
As we know Christianity and Islam propagate Monism. According to the Bible God is spirit9John,4: 24. Hindu Vedic text too speak of the Oneness of God."Ekohi rudrana dwitheeyayaasthu "[There isOne Iswar/Protector/God; not two]., says Swethawaropanishad, Chapter,3: 2.]. In this same Upanishad, chapter one, sloka ten it is cleared by beautiful images.
"Kshram pradhanamamruthaksharam harah
Ksharathmanaveeshathe deva eka evah"-[All created in nature will perish except the ever living God/Hara]. Kathopanishad, chapter,3: 3-5, claririfies the relation among body, soul, mind and intellect.Sould is the owner of the body{chariot}. Intellect is the charioteer andmind the bridle of the five horses{the five senses] Stimulants are the routes. An experienced charioteer[scholar] shall control the senses andthe mind to reform ourselves and the society. The Owner/Creator never undergo any change.[ref. the Bhagavad Gita, chapter,9: 11 and 18: 61 for further notes on this.
Poets call this Eternal Power as Almighty, Being, Soul etc and souls in beings as being/soul.William Wordsworth see Pantheism /Omnipresence of this Lord/Protector/"Rubb"/ "Iswarah".Thus as Mechanical Engineering books define "force' as that which moves a static object form one point to another is force. So soul is the Force. When we find this universality of the soul-[life-force] we will not belittle anything or anyone. So says Isavasyopanishad, sloka,6. (web site references are also possible]
