When I was a kid, everybody used to say things about soul, body and mind. your body is mortal and soul is immortal. you die but your soul lives on. it takes another body. but as a kid, I used be confused about what is the difference between mind and soul. I couldn’t distinguish between them. But about a while ago, I came to know the truth.

Only those who seek shall find — Robin S. Sharma

The Analogy

How I distinguish between body, mind and soul is like the body is your laptop or desktop. if you have better hardware then you can work efficiently with your computer. Just as developer need better hardware such as higher memory and cpu, athletes and actors need better body.

Your computer can have different Operating system and it will work accordingly. you can compare the OS with your mind. It has ability to do work efficiently.

Now your soul is like an AWS workspace, virtual machine which you can access with your laptop. workspace doesn’t exists on your laptop but it is somewhere else. it has as much power as needed. if your laptop is damaged then you can still access the VM or workspace from another machine. Just like this your soul moves on to other body when you die.

In reality, you have to pay to get better hardware, os, or vm. similarly, to get better body, train your mind or understand the soul, you have to spend your TIME.

Although you cannot earn more TIME while you can earn MONEY

The Gist

  • Body — Laptop, desktop, physical machine
  • Mind — OS
  • Soul — Virtual machine/ workspace/ vm : soul

Masters

Some people use one element the most whome we can call masters. There are three types of masters just as there are three elements (Body, Mind and Soul).

Masters of body

These people have decided to give top priority to their body. they try to make every part of it efficient. they use their body fully. they work very hard to become better version of themselves. like athletes, movie starts, body builders etc.

Masters of Mind

These people tries to develop their mind. they have one fundamental, use the mind to its fullest and push the human race forward.

Masters of Soul

These people use the soul to find peace, a higher purpose and live happily. they help other people, care about them and solve their problems.
