✒QA✒: Why the Soul is Free from 6 Changes of the body ?

QA : Verse no. 2.20

Question 1: What are the six changes a body goes through ? Why the soul is free from these six changes of the body ?

Answer 1 : "The body is subject to six kinds of transformations. It takes its birth in the womb of the mother’s body, remains for some time, grows, produces some effects, gradually dwindles, and at last vanishes into oblivion. The soul, however, does not go through such changes. The soul is not born, but, because he takes on a material body, the body takes its birth. The soul does not take birth there, and the soul does not die. Anything which has birth also has death. And because the soul has no birth, he therefore has no past, present or future. He is eternal, ever-existing, and primeval—that is, there is no trace in history of his coming into being. Under the impression of the body, we seek the history of birth, etc., of the soul. The soul does not at any time become old, as the body does. The so-called old man, therefore, feels himself to be in the same spirit as in his childhood or youth. The changes of the body do not affect the soul. The soul does not deteriorate like a tree, nor anything material. The soul has no by-product either. The by-products of the body, namely children, are also different individual souls; and, owing to the body, they appear as children of a particular man. The body develops because of the soul’s presence, but the soul has neither offshoots nor change. Therefore, the soul is free from the six changes of the body."

Question 2 : How the consciousness of the soul is different from the consciousness of the Supreme ?

Answer 2 : "As soon as there is a little light in the sky early in the morning, we can understand that the sun is in the sky. Similarly, since there is some consciousness in all bodies—whether man or animal—we can understand the presence of the soul. This consciousness of the soul is, however, different from the consciousness of the Supreme because the supreme consciousness is all-knowledge—past, present and future. The consciousness of the individual soul is prone to be forgetful."

Among the books written by Zhi Gang Sha – I’ve read and perused quite a few – I feel that this book may be the clearest explication of his view of soul, the cosmos, and human structure and life. In good measure, it’s meant to set out his model of the universal spiritual reality, how we humans fit into this reality, and how we evolve toward being fully free and positive. In Zhi Gang Sha’s teaching, health, love, harmony, peace, kindness, compassion, goodwill, intelligence, and evolution should, and can, be atributes of our lives. Don’t look to a book like this to give directives for every situation and every decision in your life; the author aims to assist and enable us to evolve to meet our own challenges. “Your mind is constantly learning, so too is your soul” – I feel this statement by the author, from the book’s first chapter, is a glimpse into what this book is about. For the person who likes conceptual clarity, this book offers that: ideas are not presented as baffling generalities. But as much as anything, this is a ‘how to’ book, for the person who wants both practical method and techniques to benefit his or her life. Quite a number of practices are explained in these pages. Many have been attracted to Zhi Gang Sha as an expert of age-old Chinese, as well as universally spiritual, approaches to physical wellbeing. But in showing the way, he sums up that “the physical journey is to serve the soul journey.”
