Is there good soul and bad soul?





…contd….

People often ask me “if each one of us is the same soul, then why is one a saint and the other sinner. When one is the embodiment of love, the other is that of hatred and destruction. This is the answer. Pain, hurt and such negative feelings and attitudes hide the brilliance of soul in a sinner or a person whose suffering bound by his karma whereas the yogi having subdued his senses lets the brilliance of soul emit through his entire being. That’s all! Let me give you an example. Say there are three bulbs of the same wattage. But, one is totally covered with a black cloth with an aperture of just 1 mm, the second is covered by a thermo cool box and the third is in the open. When you put on these three bulbs, what do you see? From the first, there’s only a small streak of light that comes out. From the second light comes out buy a little dimmed. But, in the third, we see the actual potential of the bulb. Can you say, the difference is in the bulb or the electricity? No, certainly not. The difference is because of the covering. Like-wise in the case of soul, the brilliance of the soul is hidden by the negative attitudes, actions, thoughts and feelings. 

Every person naturally aspires to be at the top. To be the Best! To be successful! Then, should it not be so in case of soul too! Shouldn’t we live up to our potential? Shouldn’t we concentrate on expressing and experiencing our brilliance instead of what others do or don’t? I know your answer is yes. So, take the first step. That is act “as if you are that Divine soul” already. Believe in your divinity, in your capacity to love. Believe that no one has power to break or disturb you. 

A soul is one which is eternal and cannot die. It is something that sword can’t cut, fire can’t burn or wind blow away. If these elements can’t touch you as you are the soul, how can some mortal harm you in any way? Don’t give them power to hurt you! You are not sheep. You are lions. Talk as one. Behave as one. Walk as one. Think as one. Others may hurt your body – fine you can always get another one. But they can never touch you. You are the soul grand, magnificent and divine. You are eternal, omnipotent and omniscient. Express who you are. It’s high time you do it and reclaim your grandeur. Enough of crying, pleading, complaining, suffering and fearing! Be fearless – abhaya! for nothing can harm you!

The explanation on "Is there good soul and bad soul?" was really nice...

Specially the example of Bulb was also too good :)

Last two paragraphs were truly inspiring!
