The Soul of man or any other being is contained fully in the small body of seed embryo, which develops, grows, and expands later on, to its full size, while all the time, through all the varying changes, the Soul, contained inside; is the same.
Also one particular size can not be set or fixed for the Soul-as then it will not be possible for the same to be contained in the small or smallest beings such as the embryo and microbes containing-life. It has been proved by scientists that there are such living cells and micro organisms which are very very small and can not be seen by eyes and yet they possess life-they live and die.
We find that man is more intelligent than beasts in general. But in worms, beasts and men it is also found that some are more intelligent and active than others. If music is played before a stone piller or an iron pole there will be no conception in them but men or beasts are consciously affected with music if there be an aptitude for the same in any particular being. A man who has no training or education in the art of music can not appreciate the full significance of the tunes.
