You Are Changing Bodies at Every Moment

We foolishly identity ourselves with these material bodies even though they are changing at every moment. Just as there is a constant flow of water molecules through the river bed, in a similar way there is a constant flow of chemicals through the lump of matter which is clustered around the spirit-soul, the conscious being who has awareness that he exists and is empowered as the driver-controller of the ever-changing material body.

Sankarshan Das Describing the Constant Change of Bodies

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: How the Existence of "I" Proves Soul?

How does the existence of "I" prove that the soul exists? I do understand that we need a driver for our bodily vehicle. But how can we say that it exists? How can we see it for ourselves? How can we see it in every other living entity?

Answer: The "I" is the Soul

The "I" is the soul. It is a simple understanding. Why are you trying to make it so complicated? The existence of "I" is the existence of the soul. So your question is like asking, "How can I say that I exist?" The obvious answer is that you can say that you exist because you exist. If you did not exist, you could not say that you exist.

By interacting with others you can experience that they are not machines, that they are conscious beings just like you. They have feelings and emotions just like you do. This distinguishes them from soulless, emotionless, feelingless robots.
