Hare Krishna. Question from Sushant Prabhu.
In the spiritual world, is there a difference between the soul and the spiritual body that the soul possesses? Answer, no. The spiritual body is itself the soul. Right now, the soul is in a seed bija form and the soul is surrounded by a subtle body and a gross body.
But the bija form of the soul in itself has the potentiality to manifest its original swaroopa. And when that swaroopa is manifested in the spiritual world, the body, mind and the soul are all spiritual. So, when we use the word spiritual body, it’s like there is a cake and on top there is a cream layer.
Now, that cream layer can be made into a shape, maybe a shape of a small child whose birthday is there and on whose birthday the cake is being made. So, the full cake, the full body of the child which is made using the cake cream is all cream. Like that in the spiritual world, everything is spiritual.
So, the body, the mind and the soul are all spiritual. So, there is no difference because of that between the soul and the spiritual body in the spiritual world. Thank you.
Hare Krishna.
