How aroma can help detect the Soul within a material body.
This material body is simply a machine a vehicle for the soul , many people erroneously think that we are the biological creation of our body at conception. Although we come into existence , externally from a materialistic point of view we only see the body , so where is the soul ?
BG 18.61 :The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone’s heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.
Nowadays we see factories have become so proficient that robots can make other machinery , similarly the material body is created by other material bodies . Nevertheless when we take machines and try to use them, they are simply lifeless, unless we switch them on and connect them to the power station, which empowers all machines .In the same way unseen by the gross material senses, the soul is placed in a particular body according to his previous karma or activities .
BG 15.8 :The living entity in the material world carries his different conceptions of life from one body to another, as the air carries aromas. Thus he takes one kind of body and again quits it to take another.
Everybody knows matter is dull and lifeless , so how is it that consciousness can arise out of matter ? Are we the sum of the parts or are we the whole ? What is that power which animates us and gives rise to consciousness , creates intelligence and manifests life . The scientists say that by the combination of water earth and electricity or lightning , life was created but are yet to replicate that experiment . What was the vital ingredient that scientists missed when trying to create life ? Do they even understand how matter itself is manifest !
SB3.6.7 : The total energy of the mahat-tattva, in the form of the gigantic virāṭ-rūpa, divided Himself by Himself into the consciousness of the living entities, the life of activity, and self-identification, which are subdivided into one, ten and three respectively.
SB3.5.36 Thereafter the water produced from electricity was glanced over by the Supreme Personality of Godhead and mixed with eternal time and external energy. Thus it was transformed into the earth, which is qualified primarily by smell.
Who is smelling the earth , can earth or matter smell itself , by the power of the nostrils or the twin Aswini Kumars we see that everyone can smell aromas . How can we trace out the cause of being able to smell even by mundane estimation ?
SB 3.29.20 : As the chariot of air carries an aroma from its source and immediately catches the sense of smell, similarly, one who constantly engages in devotional service, in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, can catch the Supreme Soul, who is equally present everywhere.
We should try and understand that just as aromas are a property of earth that the consciousness and intelligence thereof is a product of the soul . That the soul itself is created by the supreme soul who exists everywhere just like the sky .
SB 3.27.18: As there is no separate existence of the earth and its aroma or of water and its taste, there cannot be any separate existence of intelligence and consciousness.
SB 3.5.6: He lies down on His own heart spread in the form of the sky, and thus placing the whole creation in that space, He expands Himself into many living entities, which are manifested as different species of life. He does not have to endeavor for His maintenance, because He is the master of all mystic powers and the proprietor of everything. Thus He is distinct from the living entities.
Although the supreme personality is present everywhere , one should not make the mistake of impersonalists and mayavadis who think that they can merge into the sky and become the sky . The Supreme personality of godhead Sri Krsna has three energies , the internal potency swarupa shakti , the external energy Maya shakti or Prakrti and the eternally separated parts and parcels jiva shakti . The marginal energy or individual souls are situated between the external and internal energies of the lord Krsnera tatashta sakti abheda bheda prakash surya amsa like a single ray of the sun which comes from in the sun and goes to earth .
CC Madhya lila 20.111 “Lord Kṛṣṇa naturally has three energetic transformations, and these are known as the spiritual potency, the living entity potency and the illusory potency.
Just as the sun rays can purify the earth of contamination , one who realises the glories of the Supreme personality of godhead Sri Krsna can purify his material existence and realise he is not the body. He is the soul who enters into the body by the superior arrangement of material nature who is controlled by Sri Krsna.
SB 11.7.41 : Although a self-realized soul may live in various material bodies while in this world, experiencing their various qualities and functions, he is never entangled, just as the wind which carries various aromas does not actually mix with them.
Because the lord is completely spiritual and only by his presence are all the senses activated , we find that the Supreme personality of Godhead Sri Krsna and his plenary portions have the seemingly mystical ability to perform any of the actions of all the other senses , by any sense . Similarly the jivatma or individual soul when empowered by the supreme soul, also has the ability to hear aromas within his heart, if properly situated .
BG 13.14 : Everywhere are His hands and legs, His eyes, heads and faces, and He has ears everywhere. In this way the Supersoul exists, pervading everything.
SB 3.9.5 : O my Lord, persons who smell the aroma of Your lotus feet, carried by the air of Vedic sound through the holes of the ears, accept Your devotional service. For them You are never separated from the lotus of their hearts.
