The soul, being of that one indivisible substance, can suffer neither disintegration nor destruction, therefore there is no reason for its coming to an end. All things living show signs of their existence, and it follows that these signs could not of themselves exist if that which they express or to which they testify had no being. A thing which does not exist, can, of course, give no sign of its existence. The manifold signs of the existence of the spirit are for ever before us. (91:3) The traces of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the influence of His Divine Teaching, is present with us today, and is everlasting. (91:4) A non- existent thing, it is agreed, cannot be seen by signs. In order to write a man must exist-- one who does not exist cannot write. Writing is, in itself, a sign of the writer's soul and intelligence. The Sacred Writings (with ever the same Teaching) prove the continuity of the spirit.
(91:5)
