Shri Prabhupada ki… In this body, where does the soul exist? Is it in every cell or on the whole? Some way or the other, you can specify the position of the heart, but where is the soul? First, there is a point to understand that the soul is non-material.
Soul is spiritual. So, it does not have to be in a specific position to radiate its influence everywhere. The soul is situated not in the heart, but in the region of the heart.
And basically, from the region of the heart, it radiates the influence in terms of consciousness of others. So, there are five, according to medical science, that is oxygen, which we take for breathing. According to Ayurveda, oxygen is only one component of Pranayama.
There are five kinds of airs in the body. There is Prana, Apana, Vyasa, Mandana. And these five airs cause different kinds of motion in the body.
So, their motion is like… Each of these airs is like a vector of direct reference. And the resultant of these five vectors is zero in the region of the heart. And that is the region where the soul lives.
So, that is the place in the region of the heart. It’s not exactly the heart. In the region of the heart, where the five wires are in the thyracic organ, that’s where the soul exists.
And from there, the soul’s influence is spread. The consciousness is spread all over the body. So, every cell is active because of the presence of one global soul in the body.
There is no need for a separate soul in each body. Because every cell has a separate soul. Then every cell will be individually conscious.
Isn’t it? So, there, my hand will be conscious. I am looking at my hand and my hand is looking at me. Now, who is this person? Now, I am going to ask, who is this person? So, we have a unity of consciousness.
And that unity of consciousness comes from our individuality. From there, we are united as a source of consciousness. So, just like light present in one place spreads its radiation everywhere.
In 13th chapter, 34th verse, Bhagavata Ramakrishna says, The sun situated in one place radiates its light everywhere. Similarly, the sun is situated in one place. And from there, it radiates the energy of consciousness all over the body.
