The body and the condition of the body affect the consciousness... But the soul is
within, covered by the body. If the soul has a trees body it acts like a tree, if
it has a dogs body, it acts like a dog, in a cats body it acts like a cat... If
you dope up a humans body that changes the consciousness so the soul acts like a
"doped" human... It's a covering. You can wear different clothes but you are the
same person underneath...
 
Spiritual life means to cut through the coverings and uncover our real, original
spiritual nature. We are not these material bodies...
 
 
Thank you. Hare Krishna.
