The Size of The Soul

Salam Kasih

Dear Brothers & Sisters

This note is taken from The Chandogya Upanisad, 3:14.1-4

The universe emerges from God, and will return to God; he is the beginning and the end. God is all, and all is God.

You are your deepest desire. Your deepest desire in this life will shape your next life. So direct your deepest desire to knowing the soul.

The soul can be known by those who are pure in heart. The soul is light and life, truth and space. The soul is the source of all activity, all desires, all fragrances and taste. The soul is beyond words. From the soul comes eternal joy-and the soul dwells within every heart.

The soul is smaller than a grain of rice, smaller than a grain of barley, smaller than a mustard seed, smaller tha a grain of millet, smaller even than the kernel of grain of millet. Thus the heart has room for the soul. The soul is also larger than the earth, larger than the sky,larger than the entire universe.
