Anything made of matter cannot be the intelligent one

Subtle Body:

The organs, the mind, the intellect, the egoism.. and the vital forces form a compound which is called the fine body, the Sukshma Sharira. These forces are composed of very fine elements, so fine that no amount of injury to this(gross) body can destroy them; .. they will endure for eons and eons. (CW.II.424)

Anything made of matter cannot be the intelligent one

(Anything made of matter cannot be the intelligent one)

"These being made out of fine issue can't act naturally - lustrous." Their luminosity cannot be in themselves. (CW.II.424)

"Notwithstanding this consistent change in the body, and regardless of this persistent change in the psyche, there is in us something that is unchangeable, which makes our" ideas of things appear unchangeable. (CW.III.404)

When rays of light coming from different quarters fall upon a screen, ..or upon something that is not changeable, then and then alone it is possible for them to form "a solidarity, at that point and after that, by itself, it is workable for them to frame one finish entirety.""Where is this solidarity in the human organs, falling whereupon, in a manner of speaking, the different thoughts will come to solidarity and wind up one finish entirety?"(CW.III.405)

Coming to modern physiology, .. it has found centers for all the different sensations... the lower centres, and then a higher grade of centers, and these two centers exactly correspond with the internal organs and the mind, but not one center has been found which controls all the other centers. .. Where do the centres get united? (CW.I.394)

Atman:

Therefore there must be something which is neither the body nor the mind, something which changes not, something permanent, upon which all our ideas, our sensations fall to form a unity and a complete whole; and this is the real soul, the Atman of man. (CW.III.405)

And seeing that everything material .. must be changeful…this unchangeable something cannot be of material substance; therefore it is spiritual, that is to say, it is not matter -- it is indestructible, unchangeable. (CW.III.405)

He it is who really sees things… He is the ruler of all these instruments, the master in the house, the enthroned king in the body. (CW.II.425)

The Self-having no form, cannot be bound by the law of beginning and end…just as time is eternal, so is the Self of man eternal. (CW.II.255)
