What are qualities of Soul?
Bhagavad Gita
BG 2.20: 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.
BG 2.22: As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.
BG 2.24: This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.
BG 2.25: It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body.
The Śvetāśvatara Upanisad (5.9 )In the Mundaka Upanisad (3.1.9)
Size of the soul is described as one ten-thousandth part of the tip of the hair.
Very very minute....
Katha Upanisad (1.2.20)
There are two kinds of souls — namely the minute particle soul (anu-ātmā) and the Supersoul (Parmatma). Both the Supersoul [Paramātmā] and the atomic soul [jīvātmā] are situated within the heart of the living being,like two birds sitting on the same tree.
