Prana, the vital breath, is born of Self. Like a person and his shadow, the Self and Prana are inseparable. Prana enters the body at birth, but does not die with the body.

Soul
- Upanishads "Prana Upanisad"
In life, nothing can be costlier than gaining anything by compromising the soul.
-Deep Trivedi
For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 2.20"
No work stains an individual who is pure, who is in harmony, who is master of his life, whose soul is one with the soul of all.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwavad Gita 5.7"
The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of Divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.
-A Spiritual Leader "St. John of the Cross"
Like the waves in great rivers, there is no turning back of that which has previously been done…The soul is bound with the fetters made of the fruit of good and evil.
- Upanishads "Maitri Upanishad 4.2"
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
One who identifies himself with his soul regards bodily transmigration of his soul at death fearlessly, like changing one cloth for another.
-Scriptures "Pujyapada, Samadhishataka 77"
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
When an exalted soul realises that all sentient beings are one in relation to the Supreme – that is, that all beings are the minute parts of the One – how shall he have any more delusion and what grief will come to him?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad"
