Chapter 8 - Views of Soul
Spirit is akin to soul, but not soul. Spirit is a supernatural, incorporeal being, as a ghost. There are many instances wherein the ghosts had been photographed and published in papers.
I had read an article in the Readers’ Digest long back which I like to narrate from my memory.
The story goes like this: It was midnight. A diplomat was sitting in the garden reading a book. He was by nature a courageous man and had even served in the army.
Suddenly, he could see some figure moving nearby. He had shouted without moving from his seat. The figure was still and with a torch in his hand, he moved towards the figure.
On nearing the figure, he focused the torch towards its face. The illumined face of the figure had registered in his mind. The figure had disappeared.
After the lapse of some years, in a different country, he was posted as a diplomat. He was asked to preside over an important meeting in that country.
He was accompanied by a few officials who took him near the lift. The meeting was to be held in the top floor for which he had to use the lift. He saw the face of the lift man. The diplomat was taken a back, as the lift-man’s face had reminded him of the face of the figure that was seen and registered in his mind some years back in some other country.
He was hesitant to use the lift. So, he said that he would come later. Hence a few who accompanied him, had gone inside the lift. The lift was shattered in the midway and all inside including the lift man had died.
The diplomat had then explained about his predicaments about the lift man who, according to him, was a ghost in a human form.
Spirit or Ghost may be good or evil. It will have the shape of flame or smoke. Mostly the color will be white. The head will be prominent with body like shape drooping down. It will be a shadowy figure.
Soul is destined to be in the body earmarked for the specified period. If the person discarding the time frame commits suicide or dies in an accident, then the soul is said to take the shape of a ghost to complete the period of its existence in the world as predetermined.
If such spirit enters any one’s body, the soul belonging to that body will be overpowered till its exit.
There are some known instances of such spirits entering the persons which will demand from the people nearby to serve him food etc.
The details of such happenings will be dealt with in our next issue.
