We can say that the most important property of the soul is the ‘consciousness’. Because we know that after death body becomes unconscious. It occur when soul leave the body. So consciousness must be the property of the soul.
Then question arises that if soul has its own consciousness then how our body behaves consciously when we are alive.
The answer must be that the soul lends its consciousness to the body when we are awake. But when we go to sleep the soul withdraw its consciousness from the body.
We can understand it with example that, to move vehicle there must be a driver. When driver comes out of the vehicle, vehicle can not moves it self. That means vehicle is like our body & driver is like our soul.
Not only death reminds us the existence of soul but also other things which are taking place in our day to day life reminds us the presence of soul. Like the good sound sleep. When a person goes to sleep then soul takes its consciousness. Then we do not have any idea what might have taken place around the body or even to the body. It proves that we are not a body alone. The real ‘I’ is the soul who has its own consciousness and resides in the body.
That means the body is made up of a matter like other objects(chair, stone) in the world who have no its own consciousness. However soul must be different from these matters.
The soul must be the very micro thing which is present somewhere in our body. It must be smaller than atom or electron. However it is very difficult to imagine the structure of atom. Atom contains electrons & nucleus. Nucleus contains protons & neutrons. Hence it is very difficult to imagine a soul which is superfine & smallest thing than atomic particles.
Thus we can say that ‘soul is the soul of living beings’.
