Soul inside the body or soul behind the body, the fact is it's hidden; lying somewhere in the dark behind the wall, the body wall, the self covering wall.
Do “I”, “me” or “self” describe the wall or what’s behind the wall?Everybody knows but still they don't, when it's associated to others; it's their skewed eyes which always looks down at others. This “Everybody else” make my world.
The world seems beautiful, dazzling as the photo frame in the ordinary external light attached to the roof. It’s nothing but a perception of the human mind; the beauty is non existential, it’s just an expression which makes our brain get mesmerized.
The actual world is non-existential; for us it’s the only the sensible entities in the space around me, limited to our six senses. Our world is the virtual reality known to the impaired brain which comprehends the system.
People know me for what I appear in the light of the external perceptions; it’s the bulb, which lights up my wall and gives me a shape and a size. The non-figured, unsized entity, my own self, my identity, is opaque in this worldly light. It’s me who can see my soul in the mirror of my mind, it’s hazy but it’s there. It’s my mind’s inability to see the self, because its fluid, it ripples on a touch, it flows up and down, and nobody is master of his mind.
Some say the soul never dies, but I think he does. You have to keep him alive in you; he feeds on self respect, dignity and rightness. You have to hold the candle of light, to keep yourself alive.Once the Soul is dead, the wall will be broken and you will be lost in the world’s light.
It’s the self who is trapped inside the self, for “me” to live and I have to keep myself alive.

hey good job yaar...i dont think there could be a better way to put the thought than the way you have done....All I have to say is "A beautiful thought put in a beautiful way"
Wow! Didnt know you did this :) Awesome!
Good Sketch.
Some suggestions:
Since the lamp represents the external world's light / people's perception, it should have a dramatic effect, a bit bigger, seemingly important but jarring. The lamp in the sketch is quite small wrt to the concept it portrays. I can see its effect on the mirror, but its should even be effecting the candle and the tilted eye, blinding them all.
Also, there can be some element of internal doubt in the mind of a person... I think even the assumption that soul is clean and all-knowing should be doubted.
Also, try this sketch with colors.... I think you can depict it even better.
waiting for more.
