Faculties of the Soul

Soul consists of 3 entities namely Mind,Intellect and the Sanskar.

Mind:- Our Mind creates 32 thoughts per minute , Thoughts are of 4 Types they are the good thoughts,bad thoughts, useful thoughts and waste thoughts. So in a day we have 32* 60 Min * 24 hrs=46,080 thoughts

One can reduce the thoughts per minute by the use of Raja Yoga Meditation. It is impossible to make it to 1 or 0 thoughts per minute.One will have thoughts till he is alive

Intellect:- The duty of the intellect is to judge the thought and advices us to the right thing.The action performed is depended on how powerful the soul is.If the Soul is powerful the mind listens to the intellect and performs the act. If the Soul is weak the mind does what it thinks and does not go with the intellect.

Sanskar:- If we do good it is called Puniya , If we do bad deeds it is called Pava. This is recorded in our Sanskar. We take different births based on the good deeds or bad deeds that we do, That is why we say if some one is born in a rich family we say he has done good deeds in his previous birth, If some one is seriously ill or handicapped by birth we say he has committed sin in his previous birth.

Characteristics of the Soul :- Soul is an energy. It can neither be created nor it can be destroyed.
