Spiritual Treasure The Divine Bliss of Spirit Every Human being is subtle, unified entity and the supreme creation of Almighty Lord. The physical structure of human body is supplemented and supported by senses, intellect and two more invisible astral entities in the form of mind and soul.
The human Spirit is considered as a component of human mental knowledge, philosophy, art and psychology. It is linked with our intellect, emotions, fervor, passion, enthusiasm, vitality, eagerness, commitment, creativity, contentment, liveliness, courage and other favorable aspects. The evil concepts of mankind in the form of stress, anxiety, anger, lust, ego, hatred, corruption etc. are due to irrational tendencies of mind.
In many religious, philosophical and historical traditions, the soul is the immaterial essence of a every living being. The belief of Animism (Aristotle) says that even the non-living entities of certain rivers and mountains have soul. The soul is the real, divine source of intellectual energy or intensity in every living organism as revealed in a work of art or performance.
Every religion believes in the seven prominent characteristics of soul; peace, power, knowledge, security, love, happiness and bliss. These eminent qualities have been granted through the graceful benevolence of Almighty God.
