I have been listening to some religious sermons and was pleasantly surprised that Mr.Velukudi Krishnan's discourses are extremely interesting. It is the nice story telling format, with the fact that he does not add an ounce of unnecessary information that makes it almost fun to hear. Not to mention, the man does not flounder for words at all. Amazing , I say!

Anyways the thing that amused me today, was a particular thing he said about the soul.
The soul is atomic according to our scriptures. Atomic therefore implies that which cannot be broken down in to further parts. Once I heard it, I immediately thought of Horcruxes. Call it not being "well-read" in the scripture space. i will plead guilty to it. But this is what I remembered. I remembered JKR's idea about splitting the soul. How its the most heinous thing ever, and how it takes evil means to do so.

This just made me think that there is some kind of unifying thing about humans. There have been innumerable parallels drawn between the great civilizations of the bygone era, numerous studies on the similarities between the great epics, the religious scriptures. The underlying human belief in many areas seem to be the same. How else would you expect an english woman say almost the same thing as something that has been said in our scriptures before 1000's of years!
