Words of Lord Krishna concerning the radiance that emanates from his body.
Krsna's words to Arjuna: "My dear Arjuna, this dazzling radiance, that absolute light you contemplate, know that it is none other than the radiance that emanates from My Body. O you the greatest among the descendants of Bharata, This brahmajyoti is none other than Me".
Just as the sun and its rays can not be separated, it is the same for Krsna and the radiance that emanates from His Body, the brahmajyoti. Thus Krsna declares that the brahmajyoti was none other than Himself. Krsna adds: "The brahmajyoti is made up of a set of minute particles called spiritual sparks, or in other words by the living beings called citkana."
The expression "I am the brahmajyoti" can also apply to living beings who can also claim to be part of the brahmajyoti. Krsna further explains: "This brahmajyoti is an emanation of My spiritual energy."
Krsna also said to Arjuna: "The brahmajyoti extends beyond the realm of My external energy called maya-sakti." He who dwells in this material world can not know this radiance of the Brahman. This is why it is not manifested in the material universe, but only in the spiritual world.
The dimensions of the soul are ten-thousandths of the tip of a hair. The spiritual soul, an individual entity distinct from God and other souls, is a spiritual atom, finer than material atoms. There are an infinite number of these spiritual atoms.
This tiny spark is the vital principle of the material body, where its influence is everywhere spread in this envelope. Consciousness manifests itself in exerting its influence throughout the body. It is the proof of the presence of the soul, which is its source. No one knows that without consciousness, the material body is a lifeless object, which nothing can revive. Consciousness comes from the soul, not from a few combinations of material elements. Located in the heart, it delivers its energy to the whole body. Blood cells, which carry oxygen stored in the lungs, draw their energy
