Question: What is the difference between mind and soul?
Answer by Romapada Swami: The soul is our real self; it is all-spiritual and eternal. When the soul comes to the material world, he accepts a material body, which comprises of a gross body and a subtle body. Mind is part of the subtle body; it is a subtle sense, sometimes called the 6th sense, distinguishing it from the sense of sight, sound, touch, smell and taste. The soul is the seat of consciousness, whereas the mind simple receives impressions from the five senses, and then processes those impressions by way of thoughts, feelings, and volition. The mind also is the resting place of our conceptions of life.
