It awakens slowly as vegetation, breathing with the seasons,then learns movement as fish in the waters,
song as birds in the sky,
and instinct as animals, often reaching its threshold in the form of the ape.
At last, the soul enters the human realm,
where consciousness turns inward and choice is born.
Here, the soul lives many lives—
as man and woman, wealthy and poor, strong and frail—
embracing the full spectrum of experience.
Across these lifetimes, karma unfolds naturally,
each event a quiet echo of past impressions seeking balance.
Through joy and sorrow, gain and loss,
the soul gradually harmonizes the opposites it has carried through time.
When all impressions are balanced,
the wheel of rebirth gently comes to rest.
Freed from the need to return,
the soul awakens to the subtle world of energy—Prana—
where existence is no longer bound by form.
In this luminous realm, the soul knows itself
not as body or story,
but as a Subtle Being—
vast, aware, and eternally unfolding within the great mystery.
