What is the true nature of the Soul, and how does it differ from the physical body according to Baba's teachings?

According to the teachings in Chapter 19, the Soul is described as the ultimate goal, the Pure Brahman, where the senses and mind find rest. It is inherently self-luminous, pure consciousness, changeless, and formless. The text explains that the Soul is entirely distinct from the body, senses, mind, and life-force. A key analogy used is that of a crystal, which remains pure and free from change even when it appears to take on the color of a nearby object. This illustrates how the Soul remains untainted by Maya. The belief that 'I am the body' is considered a false bondage, an illusion like mistakenly seeing a snake in a coiled rope.
