Question: Pranam Meenaji, sharing these lines from Nityageeta: “Nor this not that, the soul is not knowable. It cannot be acquired. It is eternal and indestructible. It cannot be touched because it is not affected, it is liberated because it does not get perturbed, exploited and diminished.” Please explain the meaning of not knowable and cannot be acquired. Does it mean that billions of souls have always been there since eternity or beyond and they acquire different bodies from micro-organisms to humans etc. A soul cannot be created? Meena ji: Soul is called a soul only when it is perched in a jeev, be it an ant or an elephant, human or hare. Outside the jeev it is only energy.
