Hinduism and the Word 'Soul'

A Hindu woman who is conditioned by the way the word ‘soul’ is used in Hinduism asks for clarification – is it similar to the sense of 'I am'. Rupert responds that he doesn't know how Sri Aurobindo uses the word, but the way he uses it is to indicate the deeper or deepest levels of the finite mind. The phrase 'I am' refers to God's being, and when qualified in any way it becomes the ego, the apparent separate self. It is a doorway through which the separate self moves to discover the infinite, and it is the same doorway through which the infinite goes to become an apparent, localised separate self.
