matter will take place within yourself ? Matter (inanimate) suggests : pick up stealthily as many notes as may not bə detected and put into the pocket. Then and there the voice of the soul emerges, No, do not venture this; this is an offence. Those who are deeply slumbering in life, they suppress the soul's voice and sweep off the notes into the pocket. Those who have slight awakening. in them this conflict takes a little sustenance but in the end they perhaps also surrender, but those who possess strong awakening they defeat the matter in this dual (abstain from theft).
The voice of the soul emerges in all the living beings but its response and development depends on its listening to and acting accordingly. Real meaning of Soul's Evolution :
So long as the driver is in a swoon of drink and the car continues to move in its own manner, it will do aimless and for this the driver not the car,shall be held responsible for the consequences. So long as the soul is under stupefaction, it remains indulged in the lust of physical and material pleasures and thereby continues to keep it incapacitated and deviates further from the true development. Hence, the true meaning of soul's development will be that soul should get its voice given effect to by the body and body will be able to do that alone which the soul commands, then in the hands of the cautious driver both the driver and the car will remain safe,
When shall it so happen ? When the soul shall be eager (prone) to achieve its genuine nature. As much emancipated it becomes from the shackles of Karmas, that much it shall rise upwards because it will get lighter. Evolution
