The soul is like a light in the room
that is the mind, for the soul perceives
feeling, thought, memory, reason, and
identity, and identifies itself with them.
In reality it is aloof from them. But as
the soul cannot see itself, it thinks,
with the help of the ego, "I am sad",
or, "I am glad," or, "I remember," or,
"I have forgotten." In reality the soul
does none of these things; they are
all the workings of the mind, but it
identifies itself with what it sees
at this time.
