The Nature of the Soul

Genesis 2:7

“The Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. And the Lord God planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.”

1 Corinthians 15:44-46

“It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So it is written: 'The first man Adam became a living being'; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.”

Quran 32:9

“But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of His spirit. And He gave you hearing and sight and hearts. Yet you are grateful in so small a measure.”

Bhagavad Gita 2:19-20

“Those who think this Self is the killer and those who think it is killed do not understand. It is not killed, nor does it kill. It is eternal, undying, immortal, and permanent. It existed before the creation and it will exist after annihilation.”

Dhammapada 1

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him as the wheel follows the foot of the ox. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him like his shadow.”

Tao Te Ching ch.16

“Empty yourself of everything. Let the mind become still. Ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches. After they have fallen back into the uncarved block, all things return to the infinite source.”
