Gurudev, I don’t understand the relationship between the prana (life-force), body and soul. When an accident happens, the prana gets into problem. As soon as the Prana leaves the body the soul also leaves. So the soul is bound to the body and body to prana?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Yes, you have said it. Prana connects the soul with the body. Prana leaves with the soul. Now, when there is smoke, there is fire. When there is fire, there is smoke. The relationship between soul and prana is like that of fire and smoke.
