How mind can be different from soul?
Being an issue of spirituality, even in days of modern science, not much search and research is done on the invisible existence of mind and soul.
Due to this, there is still so much confusion and complication about differentiating mind and sou, common people count these two as one single entity. Even well-educated people don’t know on what basis they should treat the mind and soul differently from each other.Being invisible, treating both separately in their routine life is too critical a task for common people. They are not yet confirmed whether wishing, cursing, getting attracted, getting upset like activities are related with mind or soul.
Common people don’t know the exact function of mind and soul. Therefore, generally they face too many complications about identifying the difference between mind and soul through the activities.
That’s why, mostly people prefer to assume both of them as one single entity instead of getting deep into the issue of understanding a difference between them..
As per SureGod, both mind and soul are different from each other. Therefore, by seeing such confusion about their exact identification, SureGod is now going to explain specific functions of mind and soul separately.

| The mind and soul are not single entity. There are big differences in their existence. Their functions & specific roles are different from each other. |
Specific Functions of Mind in physical body of human
Mind is an invisible operating system of the living body just like MS-Window of a computer, having a specific set of instructions for getting specific kinds of work done in a specific way from respective body parts.The mind keeps on sensing surrounding changes by sensory organs of the body and stores its information in the brain.
The mind is also like a data processing unit of a computer. The mind works like a processor which processes the information received by hearing, smelling, sensing, feeling, observing, studying, etc with the experience, knowledge that previously stored in the brain as well as with the information about any severe incidents of past life stored in the soul.
After processing, the mind ultimately makes decisions by thinking logically or emotionally about what to do, how to do, etc… Such a thinking process keeps on going non-stop in the human mind.
While thinking logically, the mind makes decisions on the basis of profit and loss. But while thinking emotionally, it takes care of maintaining relationships.
It doesn’t care about profit and loss while making any decision emotionally. In the same way, it has nothing to do with maintaining relationships while making logical decisions.
Along with this, the mind gets specific work done by respective body parts. For example, after deciding, the mind gets any one specific box lifted by the hand. But the mind doesn’t lift that box itself. After making a decision, the mind gets the ball kicked by foot. But a mind doesn’t kick the ball itself.
It stores only specific information in the brain as per the requirement by the way of study, observation, training, experiment, etc. Except the mind, no body part can save information in the brain. In the same way, only the mind retrieves information stored in the brain by remembering it whenever needed.
The mind itself performs different kinds of specific activities which don’t require direct involvement of any body parts just like thinking, planning, conspiracy, calculating, making decisions, wishing for something, feeling, assuming, observing, liking, disliking, choosing, perceiving, etc.
In such ways, the mind works in both ways. On one hand, it performs many tasks on its own i.e. planning, deciding, studying, calculating, etc. And on the other hand, it get work done from different body parts, like lifting specific boxes by hand, kicking the ball with leg in specific direction, etc.
The mind performs only one task at a time. It receives only one kind of information by using only one sensory organ at a time. When we see, our mind stops receiving information by ears or by nose. When we smell, our mind doesn’t receive information by touch or by observation.
Being invisible, no activity of the mind can be controlled so easily by humans. Therefore controlling the mind can't be a simple task for human beings.
Controlling the mind means setting limits to the activities of the mind. The limit can easily be set for visible things. But how to set a limit to the invisible activities of invisible mind?
Many tasks of mind are involuntary, for e.g. breathing, eye-blinking, thinking nonstop, etc. Meditation is only way to control such involuntary activities of mind
Special Role of Soul in human body during living life
Soul is an eternal immaterial essence which can’t be destroyed or created. All those movable living beings who have an individual sense of I, me, my and myself, have the existence of an invisible soul in their visible body.It is just like a specific identity given to living beings individually to keep them separate from one another for lifetime as well as even after death of the living body.
The soul is nothing but a micro part of space elements allotted to living beings. It means the soul is a child of the space element. By being emptiness and invisibility of the space element, the soul is also invisible and empty by nature. It works like a cloud-based empty bag in which information of major incidents during living life is being contained on its own.
During living life, the thoughts related to unexpected happenings of life, award winning, love break-up, appreciation by others, special surprise, loss in business, family dispute, emotional breakdown related with near & dear, respect-disrespect in family function, ego breaking insults, breach of trusts by near and dear, wishes and planning about future, possession of property, etc. keep on developing in mind.
Such thoughts keep on occupying the empty space of the soul on their own, just like air occupies the empty space of a container on their own.
The soul starts to show its existence from childhood. Therefore, in case of rebirth, incident, relationship or location of previous birth are easily reminded to a little child. Also severe accidents that happened in childhood are remembered even in old age as it is.
This specialty of soul affects the ways of working of minds. While making decisions, the mind retrieves information stored in the brain as well as in the soul. Hence any serious incident has the potential to make its effect on human behavior for a lifetime.
Special Role of Soul after death of living body of human
Air contained in a container is a part of that container until the container is not broken.In the same way, the soul is an inseparable part of the living body until death. But after the death of the living body, it dissolves back into space elements.
But even after the death of the living body, such souls don’t dissolve in the space, if they contain thoughts of unfulfilled wishes, heart-breaking insult, possession of person or property, helplessness, sympathy, revenge, etc.
Therefore to be dissolved back into space elements easily, it is most necessary for such souls to be completely free from all kinds of thought before the death of the living body.
Because after the death of the living body, without the help of the living physical body, the soul can’t make itself free from its own thoughts. Only before the death of the living body, it is possible for souls to be completely free from every kind of thoughts, but not after the death.
Difference between Mind and Soul
Like the mind, the soul neither performs any kind of function itself or gets any work done by any body part. Mind involuntary activities like breathing can be controlled by meditation, but the specific role of the soul during life as well as after death can’t be modified a little bit by human beings.In such a way, SureGod has differentiated the mind and soul on the basis of their existence, function & specific role. On this basis, it can be said with surety that mind and soul are not one single entity. They are far different from each other.
