Today's Thought:

Solution for a World in Chaos
uploaded from Pune, India

At the present moment, due to an ever-increasingly burdensome accumulation of sinful karma, the world situation on all levels is becoming more and more dangerous and uncertain. The self-serving politicians cannot even begin to understand the root cause of all the difficulties and are therefore completely powerless to do anything to solve the problems. This is why there must now arise a class of enlightened souls realized in the Absolute Truth who fully understand the secret of how to dovetail the individual consciousness with the Superconsciousness for bringing perfect peace and happiness, both individually and collectively, to the entire human society.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Does the Soul Have Size, Shape, and Form?


Dear Gurudeva,

Bless me. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

My question:

Does the atma (the soul) have size, shape and form?

Kowsthub
 


Answer: Body Has Form Because Atma Has Form


Just as your shirt and pants match the shape of your body, in a similar way your material body matches the shape of the spirit-soul, which resides within it. In other words, in its fully liberated condition the atma or spirit-soul is manifested as a human-like form with a head, eyes, ears, hands, legs, etc. The difference between that spiritual form and your present material form is that while the spiritual form, is eternal, full of knowledge, and bliss, your present material form is temporary, full of ignorance and misery. As long as one remains in material consciousness the atma's spiritual form remains dormant in a seed-like state as a tiny spiritual particle situated within the heart of the living being. But when one fully awakens his Krishna consciousness his original spiritual form will be fully manifested.
