 According to the Vedic literature the living entity is not only a material body, but it is built of three different layers. The visible material body is constituted of the elements of the periodic system; this is our body that we see when we look in the mirror. The mind, intelligence and the false ego constitute our subtle material body that we can’t experience with our senses. This covers the soul, the real bearer of life- our real Self. The soul is the real bearer of our personality, self. The subtle body is like a cloud around the soul and the gross body is only a lot of complicated but lifeless molecules. Herein lies the paradox. According to the Srimad- Bhagavatam, if you’re endeavoring for realization of it's presence, it cannot be perceived by the mind, where duality and false ego reside. It can only be realized via the heart chakra- where every living entities eternal companion also resides- the localized Supersoul called Paramatma.
