As surely as wherever the darkness is not, there you will find the light; wherever the ego is not, there you will find the soul.

About This Quote

When asked to define “soul,” the best answer may be this quote, from the Bhagavad-Gita: “The soul is that by which one knows.” A person’s soul (sometimes called the spirit) is the part of him or her that transcends mind and body and is interwoven with the universe. Whether we believe in a soul or not, we seem to want to believe that we can find it in others. We want to believe that if we do something for another person, it will benefit us, too. This belief is one of the greatest blessings we can know.
