According to Krishna, what is special about a soul?
West hole philosophy of Bhagwat Gita is virtually "Body & Soul" & what is the differentiation between the 2. On the one hand Body is said to exist perishable while the Soul is immortal which never dies. Lord Sri Krishna in Bhagwat Gita is but teaching that we should consider ourself as that immortal Soul & that we all are immortal if nosotros do not recall ourselves equally this Trunk but Soul.
Soul, Spirit, Atman, Self etc. are words which are used to ascertain subtle nature of ourselves which is invisible & mysterious. Soul is something which is within this body & something which can be without this trunk. When soul lives in this physical trunk and so it enjoys the different sensory objects through this body. Soul is indestructible & immortal. It moves from ane body to the other. Equally nosotros are non able to encounter this Soul due to it'south subtle nature and then it looks mysterious to u.s..
Now let's understand about the Soul through the Bhagwat Gita. As per Bhagwat Gita both God (Super soul) and the Individual Souls do exist & It as well believes in the incarnation of the individual souls, their mirage and bondage to the cycle of births and deaths because of desire ridden actions. As per this, Soul at death gets released from this body, rises to the higher worlds (heaven etc.) or to the lower wombs (animals, birds etc.) & reincarnates or return to the earth to continue its cycle of births and deaths.
Below are Quotes in Bhagwat Gita, which describe the Soul, or Atman, in detail:
"dehino-asmin yatha dehe
kaumaram yauvnam jara
tatha dehantar-praptir-
adhiras tatra na muhyati" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two poesy thirteen)
"Sri Krishna said: Just as boyhood, youth & sometime age are attributed to the soul & the embodied soul continuously passes through these cycles, similarly the embodied soul passes into another trunk at decease. The wise man does not get deluded & bewildered with such a change."

yena sarvam idam tatam
vinasam avyayasyasya

"na jayate mriyate va kadacin
nayam bhutva bhavita va na bhuyah
ajo nityah sasvato 'yam purano
na hanyate hanyamane sarire" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse twenty)
"Sri Krishna said: The soul is never built-in nor dies at any time. Soul has non come into being, does not come into beingness, and will not come into being. Soul is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. Soul is not slain when the torso is slain."
"vedavinasinam nityam
ya enam ajam avyayam
katham sa purushah Arjuna
kam ghatayati hanti kam" (Bhagwat Gita: Affiliate Two poetry 21)
"Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, how can a man who knows that the soul is indestructible, eternal, unborn and immutable kill anyone or cause anyone to impale?"
According to Bhagwat Gita, the Soul, or Atman, does non suffer & cannot be tainted. At the fourth dimension of death it does not die, but leaves the body and enters into a new one (Chapter 2.22).
"vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya
navani grhnati naro 'parani
tatha sarirani vihaya jirnany
anyani samyati navani dehi" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two poesy 22)
"Sri Krishna said: As a human existence puts on new garments, giving up one-time ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones."
According to Bhagwat Gita, the Soul, or Atman has the properties that Weapons cannot pierce it, fire cannot burn it, h2o cannot moisten it and wind cannot dry it (Chapter 2.23).
"nainam chindanti shastrani
nainam dahati pavakah
na chainam kledayanty apo
na sosayati marutah" (Bhagwat Gita: Affiliate Two verse 23)
"Sri Krishna said: The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened past water, nor withered by the wind."
According to Bhagwat Gita, the Soul, or Atman, is impenetrable, incombustible, all pervading, stable and immobile (Chapter 2.24).
"acchedyo 'yam adahyo 'yam
akledyo 'sosya eva cha
nityah sarva-gatah sthanur
achalo 'yam sanatanah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 24)
"Sri Krishna said: This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same."
Co-ordinate to Bhagwat Gita, the Soul, or Atman, is invisible, imperceptible and immutable (Chapter two.25).
"avyakto 'yam acintyo 'yam
avikaryo 'yam ucyate
tasmad evam viditvainam
nanusocitum arhasi" (Bhagwat Gita: Affiliate Ii verse 25)
"Sri Krishna said: It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body."
"atha chainam nitya-jatam
nityam va manyase mrtam

"Sri Krishna said: If, still, you think that the soul [or the symptoms of life] is ever built-in and dies forever, yous still have no reason to complaining, O mighty-armed."
"prakriteh kriyamanani
gunaih karmani sarvasah
ahankara-vimudhatma
kartaham iti manyate" (Bhagwat Gita: Affiliate Iii verse 27)
"Sri Krishna said: The spirit soul bewildered by the influence of false ego thinks himself the doer of activities that are in authenticity carried out past the three modes of cloth nature."
Lord Krishna knew the limitations of human consciousness to gauge the true nature of the inner soul. So in the Bhagwat Gita information technology concurs that no one tin exactly know what a soul is. Someone looks at It with not bad surprise, another speaks almost It with great surprise, some some other hears about It with incredulity and yet another subsequently hearing near It knows information technology not (Affiliate 2.29).
"ascharya-vat pasyati kascid enam
ascharya-vad vadati tathaiva chanyah
ascharya-vac chainam anyah srnoti
srutvapy enam veda na chaiva kascit" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 29)
"Sri Krishna said: Some look on the soul every bit amazing, some describe him as amazing, and some hear of him as amazing, while others, fifty-fifty subsequently hearing almost him, cannot sympathise him at all."
Below poesy tells how Soul is superior to matter; mind, senses & intelligence:
"indriyani parany ahur
indriyebhyah param manah
manasas tu para buddhir
yo buddheh paratas tu sah" (Bhagwat Gita: Affiliate Three poetry 42)
"Sri Krishna said: The working senses are superior to dull thing; mind is higher than the senses; intelligence is notwithstanding higher than the listen; and he [the soul] is fifty-fifty higher than the intelligence."
So in this way Soul is a Mysterious matter & can be understood if you have organized religion in God & in religious scriptures.
Jai Shri Krishna
