Sri Jamata Muni teaches:
"The soul is not a demigod, not a human being, not a animal, not an unmoving plant, not the material body, not the senses, not the mind, not the life breath, and not the intelligence.

圣Jamata Muni教导说：灵魂不是物质身体——不是半神人，人类，动物，静止的植物。灵魂也不是感官，心意，生命之气——呼吸，或者智性。

Text 7
"The soul is not made of matter, nor is he subject to the changes matter imposes. His knowledge is not limited to the perception of the material world. He is conscious. He is all pervading within the material body. He is self-manifest. He has His own original spiritual form, which is full of spiritual knowledge and bliss.

灵魂不由物质构成，不受制于物质变化的影响，他的知识也不受限于物质世界的认知。他是有知觉的，渗透于物质身体的各部分。灵魂是自我展示的，无始无终，他有自己原本的灵性形象，充满了灵性知识和无上喜悦。

Text 8
"He is an individual person, different from other persons. He is atomic in size. He is eternally pure. In his original spiritual nature he is a knower, a doer, and an enjoyer. Eternally he is a part and parcel of the Supreme Personality of Godhead——the Supreme Soul."

他是有别于其他人的独立个体，如原子般大小。他永恒纯净。在其原始自然本性之中，他是认知者，行为者和享受者。他永远是至尊人格神——超灵的一部分。

Text 2
"When one is completely cleansed of the impurities of lust and greed produced from the false identification of the body as 'I' and bodily possessions as 'mine', one's mind becomes purified. In that state he transcends the state of so-called material happiness and distress.*

色欲和贪婪来自和身体虚假的认同，以“我”和身体的所属物“我的”观念污染了灵魂纯粹的知觉，当一个人清除了这些污染，他的心意就变净化。在这种境界中，他便能超越所谓的物质快乐和悲伤，不被打扰。

Text 3
"At that time the soul can see himself to be transcendental to material existence and always self-effulgent, never fragmented, although very minute in size.*

那时，灵魂能观照到自己超然于一切物质存在，充满永恒的自我的光芒，虽然非常微小，但决不会被分割。

Text 4
"In that position of self-realization, by practice of knowledge and renunciation in devotional service, one sees everything in the right perspective. He becomes indifferent to material existence, and the material influence acts less powerfully upon him."

通过培养知识和弃绝，从事奉献服务，个体在自我觉悟中，就能获得对万物正确的认知。他不再执著于物质存在，物质对他的影响也变小。

（摘自）From Jiva Goswami's Sad Sandarbha

Comment: We don't HAVE soul, we ARE soul. Soul is my down-to-earth identity. i am that soul that's why i am ALWAYS alive. And when i say i am a soul i mean i am an individual, eternally, pure or impure, in liberation or bandage, experiencing the bliss of the soul or the illusion of the false ego. The individual false ego can only be built up around the individual soul, because only when you have substance then there can be shadow. Only when there is such a thing like hand, then there is such a thing like glove. This is the case for all the atomic soul, and that's what makes us alike. We are all leaf of the same tree, but none of us are exactly the same.

评注：我们本非“拥有”灵魂，我们就是灵魂。灵魂是我们最根本的身份，因此我们才是永生的。当我说自己是一个灵魂时，这意味着我永远是一个体——无论是纯净或不纯净，解脱或被束缚，享有灵性的喜乐或蒙昧于假我的妄想，我永不会失去自己的个体性。个体的假我只能建立在个体的灵魂之上，因为只有有了实体，才会有影子。正如有了手，才会有手套一样。所有的原子灵魂都如此，这也是我们的相似之处。我们都是同一棵树上的叶子，但没有一片完全相同。

The Supreme Soul is the whole tree and the root of tha tree, and that is an individual, too. The Supreme Soul is the origin of individuality, and that's why we are all individual. That is why life is beautiful: the variety.

至尊灵魂就是那整棵大树和树根，他也是独立的个体。至尊灵魂是个体性的起源，我们因此才都具有个体性。生命也因而变得多姿和美丽。

Spiritual soul who lives in small self or false ego is thinking in a dream state (Maya), "i am this body and mind, i am happy when my body and mind are happy, i am suffering when my body and mind are suffering". In this way the soul is disconnected with other soul and the Supreme Soul. That is an illusion.

生活在小我／假我中的个体灵魂有如在梦境中(Maya），他想：“我就是这身体和心意，它们快乐，我就快乐；它们痛苦，我也痛苦。”这种想法令个体灵魂切断了同其他灵魂和超灵的联系。这是一种幻觉。

Spiritual soul who lives in true identity, however, is freed from that limitation and awakened and realized it's spiritual nature in the light of the Supreme Soul. There is a mystic connection between the TREE and it's every single leaf. That connection is YOGA.

而一旦处于真实的身份中，灵魂就能摆脱物质身体的限制，在超灵的光芒中觉醒并了悟自身的灵性本性。树和它的每一片叶子之间都有着一种神秘联结。这种联结称为瑜伽。

I got a little confused, “He is an individual person, different from other persons. He is atomic in size. He is eternally pure. " How can one's soul be eternally pure when he is different from others? May I understand your article in this way: we all have two kinds of soul, one is the individual soul and the other is the Supreme Soul, the former is full of the impurities of lust and greed produced from the false identification of the body as ‘I’ which makes it different from other persons; while the latter is eternally pure and self-manifest, and the former belongs to the latter?

苏吠	2007-09-24 21:31:36 匿名 61.170.. 生命之树的根在天堂，树顶却是向下伸展到人间。大树的枝梢伸展缠绕，是物质世界里不会终结的依附；我们就是这样忙忙碌碌，从这一枝攀到那一枝。就像佛经《般若心经》说，“远离颠倒梦想”才能“究竟涅磐”。或许生命之树本该如此，真正“本末倒置”的，却正是我们在尘世生活的自己。换个角度重新看世界，才发现关于生命奥秘的智慧。

正如《心经》中观自在菩萨对舍利子说：色不异空，空不异色，色即是空，空即是色，受想行识亦复如是。
《六祖坛经》中说到：凡夫即佛，烦恼即菩提。前念迷，即凡夫；后念悟，即佛。
My understanding is: we are like a jewlery, but covered by the stain and dust. We take this stained jewlery as "we" because we are in the dust of unawareness. If the dust is cleaned through our practice(YOGA,Meditation), we will again be what we actually are.

Yama	2009-03-15 09:17:23 The question is: "How can one's soul be eternally pure when he is different from others? " My answer will be: WHY IT CAN NOT?
