Purification of Soul!?
We have heard of many talks about the purification of souls. People keep looking for the ways to purify their soul, make it better and brighter and become don't know what… But for all that to happen, do we really know in the first place whether our soul is even completely active or aware or not? Is our soul really fully functioning? No as to answer of it, people might say, this is the primary reason for the purification of soul, to make it fully functional and active. Then the question arises how are you to know in the first place that the soul is actually active enough to be purified and to be made fully functional? How? Its more like, you are intending to clean your car or bike and you don't even know whether you have it in the first place or not. You think you do, somewhere but do you really know it for sure. Of course you know in this case, but the soul is something transcendent, beyond, a completely metaphysical entity and human mind, especially with constraints and restrictions, can't even “feel” the metaphysical, let alone see or witness it.
Now as for the purification part, the soul in Hindu religion is called “aatma” and God is called “Parmatma”; which when broken down is “Param-Atma”, the aatma or the soul that is extreme, a Supreme being, the Supreme aatma. So by the name of it, it is clear enough that the human soul is just a form or part of the God which is only a level below God himself. So something already so close to God, why would it need to purify at all?
Now the last thing about purification… WHO will (so-called) purify our soul? Who? This physical body or the materialistic mind? Both our body and minds are completely into the physical and material things. Craving for physical and emotional love and dwelling into people’s absence and running amongst the sheep like rats, following everything the others do. This is what exactly our mind is, clustered, blurred, and clouded by either our needs or desires or both. Do you really think something already so polluted and so dirtied by personal desires and gratification can and even should Purify something already so close to God himself. Do we really need to purify our soul? Something we barely know about? Do we really need it to be purified or instead understand what is it and AWAKEN it… I’ll leave the answer to you…
