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"
O soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
My Place is the placeless, my trace is the traceless; ‘I’ is neither body nor soul, for ‘I’ belong to the soul of the Beloved. I have put duality away, I have seen that the two worlds are one; One I seek, One I know, One I see, One I call.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
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"
The soul dwelling within each one of us is the most powerful energy of the
universe. And this soul is only the supreme power. Now despite knowing and
understanding all this, if we still visit temples, mosques and religious places...
then does it show anything other than distrust on our own soul?
-Deep Trivedi
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"
To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. “I will drink the ocean”, says the persevering soul; “at my will mountains will crumble up”.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore, not by book, nor from tongue. If knowledge of mysteries comes after emptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart.
-Rumi "Jalaluddin Rumi"
When salt mixes with water, it takes the form of water. In the same way samadhi or trance means the mind merging with the cosmic soul or God.
- Upanishads "Saubhagya Lakshmi Upanishad"
