identity so why does a soul hitting the leg does not cause a person to die or to reasons first is that the body is a machine and there is in any machine there is some damage that is repairable and some damage that is irreparable so now in the west they have a culture that if a car gets damaged repairing the car will cost you more than purchasing a new car especially if there are 2, 3, 4 parts to be repaired so fixing is they have a culture of use and throw there are whole areas of cities there is in Oklahoma there is Oklahoma I think Oklahoma only like 10 by 10 mile area is just filled with cars car debris used cars they just don’t know what to do with those cars so the point which I am making is sometimes some damage is just irreparable so when the damage is to a machine is irreparable then the owners just discard the machine and go somewhere and takes another machine so like that some damage to the body is irreparable and that’s why when a major part of the body is central for the functioning like the brain or the heart or even the stomach if that gets wounded then the soul has to leave the body because the body is no longer functional along with that also there is another factor that sometimes some people exhibit what is called as medical miracle the person should not be alive but still that person is alive one of the most famous cases in the late part of the 18th century there was this worker construction worker who actually was he was working and he fell off he exploded and he fell off and there is an iron rod which is lying he actually fell on the rod and the rod went through his head it went from his head like this came out like this and he was just hanging on his there like that you can imagine the rod entering the brain coming out of the brain and he stayed conscious and then he actually managed to there is nobody there he was alone over there so he managed to use a device and he broke the rod and then he walked for almost 750 meters with that rod in his head you know coming in going out and he he everybody started to see him they rushed him to the hospital they got the rod out and he lived on he lived on for many years after that and actually his skull is preserved in the museum I forget his name if you search on google you will find so the point is that there are normally speaking certain bodily functions certain bodily damage is so irreversible that is so irreparable that a person will die but if some person by their karma is meant to live in a particular body then no matter how much they damage their body they will live on that’s how something called medical miracle happens this is something similarly normally also we see some people their digestive system is very delicate they eat a little bit of this or little bit of that their stomach gets upset there are other people who treat their tongue like a conveyor belt they eat anything and everything and nothing happens to them so that body’s toughness digestive capacity digestive system sturdiness is more in some people that is their past karma so like that in some cases it may happen that despite major damage to the body the soul lives on but normally because the body is a machine for the soul the machine is severely damaged then the soul leaves the body when the machine gets irreparably damaged
