My heartfelt greetings to all my friends. Friends, today I am going to talk about the soul. The subject is very difficult, and there are many differences of opinion. But we don't have to get into this. We will consider the knowledge available about the soul in the Bhagavad Gita. And I will try to understand it in simple language.

Friends, there are many mediums available to learn about the soul; we can read them, and nowadays we can watch many videos. You can discuss it with a knowledgeable person. Friends, can the soul be known through this? Friends, my views on this subject are very different. These mediums can be beneficial, but I will not invalidate them at all. But it may be very limited. If we really want to know, it cannot be so easy. To know this, we will have to closely study the knowledge we have about it. We ourselves have to follow the path of knowledge, devotion, yoga, etc. that has been shown to us.

It cannot happen that someone comes and shows your soul; look at your soul; this does not happen. We will have to work hard for that ourselves. We have to follow that path while living with our family. That is why Lord Shri Krishna has shown us the paths of knowledge, devotion, action, and yoga through Arjun. They have to behave; only then can something happen. The soul is not something visible. You will have to experience it yourself; only then will your experience gradually increase. And you will experience it, but you will not be able to show it to others; you will only describe it. And will anyone else be able to know from the same description? No, he will also have to follow the same path to reach there. That's why Lord Krishna describes the soul in Chapter 2, Verse 23.

Lord Shri Krishna has described it as saying that the soul cannot be cut into pieces by any weapon. It cannot be burned by fire. It cannot be soaked in water. It cannot be dried by air. And the soul is eternal. We read all this; can we learn from it? No, we have not seen the soul; otherwise, how can it be cut, burned, melted, or dried? So, friends, I mean to try to know it automatically, towards the soul. There is a way to go. Now I will not say whether you should go through the path of devotion, the path of karma, or the path of yoga. Every person can take his own path due to his own circumstances, inclination, and various reasons.

We have to go within ourselves and know it. Friends, if anything is easily available, then it has value. This is a matter of the soul and God. If it is easily available, then all the people will get it, and there will be no value. Since birth, we have been living and dying in the clutches of mind, attachment, and maya. There should be a thirst to be free, and that too, by the will of God. Otherwise, we will die again and be born again; this goes on. Every living being does this, but we have intelligence, so it is important for us to think about it. Friends, these thoughts have been written according to my intellect and on the basis of the little yoga I try to practice. If something is wrong, it is mine. And do try to understand what is good in it. Thank you.
