Story of the Ego + Cloning

[Guest guest]

Only the body can get cloned not the psyche. I hate to use the

term " soul " because it is one and the same for everyone.

 

It has become a common trait, inherited from the westerners, to refer

to the " psyche " as the soul. But in India and Hinduism, the " psyche "

(subtle) is different from the body (gross) which are both different

from the " soul " (the eternal and all pervading)

 

About the Lord of Death even getting confused for a moment over the

multiple clones or look-alikes, the question just does not arise. The

story is good in a way to highlight the " ego " part.

 

But the Lord of Death is also the Lord of Dharma or Virtue and

Righteousness. He does no mistake in identifying who to take and when

to take.
