the Body and Soul

Our Body is made of two portions .. the Gross Body which consists of Earth,Water,Eather and Air. & Subtle Body which is made of Mind Intelligence and False Ego. As we move from lower to higher the components become subtler. For instance we can feel the earth element as bone,muscle,flesh,but difficult to feel water element which are blood and body fluid. Fire is in our belly which is called Jatharagni and Air is the five vayus where soul stays in heart region ..which are called prana apana,vyana,udana,samana.and ether is the vacant space which is needed to adjust our growth of cells etc. if we move from gross to subtle it is very difficult to conceive where Mind is.. we can feel because we know our thoughts come in Mind,our experiences are in Mind etc. But it is very difficult to pin point where intelligence is.. Intelligence  is the master of mind and decision maker.Even subtler is false ego which forces us to think that we are so and so..

The real identity is spirit soul and He is made of Sat ( eternity),Chit( knowledge) and Ananda (blissful). This soul is called Vibhu Atma and this is part of Supersoul who is paramatma. The soul when enters in body sometime in 1st  month of stay in mothrs womb the material body starts growing and when He leaves body the material body stops functioning.

Our subtle body moves from one life to another . The body changes every moment but soul is eternal,primeveal,unborn.. and we can identify ourselves despite of change of body every day because we are the soul.

In BG 2.11-2.45 the Lord gives this knowledge and specially 2.20-2.30 He mentions that the Soul is the driver ..Just as a car moves when driver is in similarly Soul controls the body

The problem is that the senses are running in all direction . and the mind is very fickle. Many a time uncontrolled mind forces Intelligence to do something which he is not supposed to do.. but intelligence gives up.. the worst thing happens when intelligence suggests his boss False Ego also to accept the demand of mind. False Ego is very close confidante of Soul.. and soul does not recognise the true identity and think whatever happening to the body is actually happening to Him

Remember when we dream something we become tired ,fearful sometime we sweat also..but only solution is someone wakes me up from dream.. Krishna consciousness movement is exactly that we are trying to wake up the living soul and telling Him what is His constitutional position so that He can see things in right perspective

The constitution of Body and Soul please refere BG 7.4-7.5
