Whenever we indulged in something fishy, untruthful… a voice from within our heart prompted us to do the right thing. This is the voice of soul atman, the consciousness within coming from our heart. It has been proved beyond doubt in Bhagavad Gita that we were primarily a spirit, a soul atman manifesting human form to work out its karma, remove dross impurities within. It is not within capability of physical human body to manifest a soul atman. Similar as God, we also could not see our soul atman but always feel its presence in our heart. As long as soul existed in our heart, the heart was alive. The moment soul atman leaves the body; the physical body was not worth a few dollars.
Looking at life history of enlightened souls like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed… we can easily make out that they were pure souls’ atmans that emancipated self from cycle of birth and death forever.
Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita is always depicted as sarthi (charioteer) of the chariot (human body) belonging to Arjuna. This sarthi, charioteer is our soul atman existing in our heart as consciousness and in absence of guidance of this sarthi, charioteer the human body could not complete spiritual journey. When we were truthful in life we could hear the sweet small promptings of soul atman coming from within our heart. Guided by voice of our soul atman we could complete spiritual journey in totality. In absence of teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita no human being world over could gain enlightenment. In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna rightly says we were a spiritual being, a spirit manifesting human form.
Every soul atman manifests human body to work out its karma, remove dross impurities within. It is only after passing through 8.4 million manifestations in insect, plant, animal and human life, it reaches stage of absolute purity.
