Question

Which story teaches us the lesson we are not body but spirit soul

Answer 1

Answer:

The Bhagavad-gita, chapter # 2

Explanation:

The Bhagavad-gita is an Indian religious book which gives us several lessons. Among these, it also says that spirit soul is what most matters rather than the body. Body is just a material where the soul lies but the real essence is the soul. All the people around the globe have a Living Soul Within a Material Body. It is neither born and nor its dies away.

Answer 2

Bhagvad Gita

Explanation:

• The first step in self-realisation is realising one’s identity as separate from the body. “I am not this body but am spirit soul” is an important realisation for those who wants to surpass death and come into the spiritual world beyond. It is not just a matter of saying “I am not this body,” however of actually realising it. It's not as straightforward as at first it could seem.
• Living in the bodily perception, our notion of happiness is akin to a man in hallucination. However, Bhagavad-Gita specifies that this material body is not all in all. Beyond this material elements’ combination, there is spirit, and the indication of that spirit is awareness/realisation.
