Soul - Krishna’s Part & Parcel

Some look on the soul as amazing, some describe him as amazing, and
some hear of him as amazing, while others, even after hearing about him,
cannot understand him at all. Bhagavad-gita 2.29

Each of us is one of the innumerable spiritual souls who emanate from

Krishna. Although both Krishna and we souls are spiritual, we can never
be equal to Him. He is like the powerful sun, and we are like tiny particles
of sunshine.

Like God, we have form, and we are eternal conscious beings full of
happiness. We possess the marvelous spiritual qualities of God to a
limited degree.

The essence of our identity is our eternal relationship with Krishna. Self-
realization means discovering that relationship, which we have now
forgotten. The best use of our free will, which is part of our spiritual
nature, is to choose to take up the practices of Bhakti-yoga and awaken
to our actual identity.

As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from

boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another
body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.
Bhagavad-gita 2.13
