Q1 Who are you?

You (the living entity) are an eternal spiritual being (the soul) within the body. You are not the body. Before this body, you resided in other bodies and after this life, you will continue to exist in other bodies.

Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 2.12)

“As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change. “ (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 2.13)

Q2 Where do you come from?

You are an eternal family member of God. You originate from the spiritual manifestation, the kingdom of God. Due to your own desire, you came to the material manifestation.

The living entities In this conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 15.7)

Q3 Where are you going?

You will wonder from one body to another, life after life among various species and planets. Once you become self-realized, you will go back to the spiritual manifestation and live eternally in complete bliss in the same spiritual body.

“As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 2.22)

“One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 4.9)
