“Regarding your enquiry about the individual soul present, I think you will remember that I have several times explained that throughout the whole cosmic manifestation, not only in the cosmic creation, in the spiritual world also, the individual is full everywhere, they are numberless. In the material world, the number of souls is very small. In the spiritual world the number of individual souls are far far greater than what they are here.
The conditioned souls are just like prisoners, as we have got less population in the prison house, similarly, in the material world the number of individual souls is very small. So you may understand from me that the individual souls are everywhere, means, anywhere you go within this material world there are individual living entities, all planets in the outer space, in the water, on the land, everywhere.”
(Letter to Mukunda 5th May, 1967)
