being seems to be separated from God, the Supreme Person, but in reality, he remains very intimately linked to Him.

In the body, the main substance is the vital breath, but this breath is not the being that hears or speaks. The soul also, however beyond the vital breath, can do nothing, because in truth it is the Supreme Soul which directs everything, in collaboration with the individual soul.

Although the individual soul is in possession of the senses, it is not really its master; they actually belong to the Supreme Soul. The Supreme Soul advises the individual soul to surrender to it in order to find happiness.

By doing so, she can become immortal and join the spiritual world, where she will experience the highest achievement in the form of an eternal existence, all of knowledge and bliss. Let’s say in conclusion that the individual soul is different from the body, the senses, the vital force and the airs that circulate inside the body; in addition, above it is the Supreme Soul, which provides it with all the facilities. Now, the individual soul which gives everything back to the Supreme Soul, the Holy Spirit, lives very happily inside the body.
