POWER OF IDENTITYThe I Factor

POWER OF IDENTITY

The belief that you hold about who you are, and your identity, is very powerful; the way you see yourself in relationship to

everything else determines your behaviour and your goals.

YOUR PRESENT MATERIAL IDENTITY

What is meant by you material identity?

Nationality Age Height Weight ect…

Is this who you are? If so then...

A human body changes every 7 year? We are going to show you a picture it is

not for the faint hearted. If you still want to say this is who you are after it then go for it...

Look away if you think you cant handle it..

YOUR PRESENT MATERIAL IDENTITY

When Krishna bhagwan wanted to get Arjun to fight he told him:

“The material body of the indestructible immeasurable and the eternal living is sure to come

to an end therefore, fight o descendent of bharata”

POWER OF IDENTITY

THE ETERNAL SPLIT

The soul constantly moving from body to body..

IDENTIFY YOUR SELF AS THE SOUL

Your soul is eternal and was never born and will never die..

Bhagwan said in the Vachanamrut (ref given at the end)

“The day I came is the day you came”

How old is the soul?

“The amount of water in the ocean is the amount of mothers milk your soul has drank”

THEORY OF THE SOUL:

The correct term is: Jiv or atma Slokh 105 bhagwan explians:The Jiv dwells in the heart and is as

minute as an atom.  It is conscious and knowledgeable. By the virtue of subjectivity, it pervades the whole body.  It is impenetrable, invisible, indivisible, indestructible and eternal.

WHERE DOES THE SOUL RESIDE

The soul resides in the heart and is in size:

the tip of a hair cut 1000 thousand times and then that tip cut 1000 times.

It is impossible to see unless Gods mercy is upon you.

Yagnavalkya explains ‘72,000 nerves emanate from the heart’

DEEP THEORY OF THE SOUL

There is then a space of Akash(air) The Soul

Then in The soul you have God

Shatanand Swami references Chandyog in Shikshaptri bhasya which Say’sIn The Heart there is a space around the size of your thumb the shape of a lotus

WHERE DOES THE SOUL RESIDE?

In state of Jagrut (awake) the soul reside in the eyes (satva gun)

In the state of Swapna(dreaming) the soul resides in the thraught(neck) (raja gun)

In state of shusupti(deep sleep) the soul reside in the heart. (tama gun)

In certain state the soul works from different bases.

THE 9 QUALITIES OF THE SOUL

1. Resides in the heart 2. Suhkshma: very small, 3. Chaitanya rup; bright and enlightening, it also

know it self totally and others.4. Gnyata: know past, present and future..5. Pervades and power the whole body, 6. Acheda: unbreakable and indestructible7. Ajul: dont grow in size or shrink 8. Ajanmo: never born9. Amal: never dies

ANOTHER THING TO REMEMBER

Ever soul looks the same, Just that when it starts going closer to

God it get bright and brighter until it make the sun look like nothing in comparison.

And the soul has the tendency to serve, right now it is severing the 5 senses and getting nowhere basically, we should ideally it get it to serve Bhagwan.

OTHER POINTS TO THINK ON

The soul is: Pleasure seeking by nature Eternal an individual personality and identity Sat-cit-anand (true-conscious- bliss) More powerful then ten million suns An eternal parcel of Bhagwan and therefore the same

quality but different quantity Controlled by bhagwan

The soul effected by Karma. The soul is carrying allot of junk and is

very fortunate o have this human form.
