With the soul it is different. The soul is not a
combination of elements, it is not composed of many atoms, it is one
indivisible substance and therefore eternal. It is entirely out of the order of
the physical creation; it is immortal!

in Paris in 1911–1912’; compilation ‘Reincarnation
and the Nature and Progress of the Soul’, prepared by the Research Department
of the Universal House of Justice)
