 this human being is that same human being and he even retains knowledge from his early childhood and all his bodies have changed. this indicates that the soul has an existence other than the body and that the body is its instrument.
هذا الإنسان هو ذلك الإنسان بعينه وحتى أنه يبقى معه علوم من أول صباه ويكون قد تبدل جميع أجسامه. فدل أن للنفس وجودا سوى البدن وأن البدن آلته.
