mysterious, supernatural, etc., are certain associated with the divine character.
The pure soul encompasses in itself incomparable beauty and wonder and hence it is divine. Most wonderful wealth of infinite properties is owned by the pure self and hence is called divine. The pure soul, by its very nature, is always pure and most sacred. The pure soul is beyond the spell of illusion and is beyond the range of worldly flaws and defects. All the three worlds (the upper, middle and lower parts) are cognized by the pure soul. Otherwise, there is darkness in the sense of not knowing what is the purpose of life. The pure soul is the Lord of the three worlds.
In the whole universe, all creatures think of existence of some super power. The pure soul with its infinite properties is the only super power. The pure soul is a popular Lord. All praise, worship, invocation, prayer, eulogy etc., are addressed to the pure soul and it alone is fit to be eulogized. All supernatural powers, which are unthinkable for ordinary human beings are owned by the pure soul and thus the latter is the master of all powers-supernatural or otherwise. Thus, the pure soul is the most powerful entity in the universe and is an abode of infinite mystical, mysterious and supernatural powers. The pure soul has the divine vision, unlike the limited vision of senses. When a person swims in an ocean, lake or river, one reaches limited place/places. But the great ocean in the universe is the ocean of births and deaths and one who has crossed to the state of pure soul has really transgressed the ocean of misery and unhappiness, hence he is a divine swimmer.
The concept of pure soul is so divine and subtle that it is to be installed within with a lot of effort in the right direction. The pure soul is not a subject matter of discussion
