13. What is soul ?
The Bhagvad Gita plainly states that soul is living
entity that is able to have experiences of reality
around it.
The soul is spread all over the body as
consciousness. This spreading of consciousness Is
limited within one’s body.
For the soul, there is neither birth nor death at any
time.
14. Gita’s teachings
• Birth and death are part of a soul’s journey, no one can
escape this cycle so, we should not immerse ourself
with grief of lost of loved one.
• If one recognize himself as soul not body he/she will be
free from the humanly emotions like anger, sorrow,
sadness, attachment etc. and will life in total
exuberance and blissfulness.

soul/consciousness.
