Any soul is not God
Mukhya uhakrut sarvopi tasminneva natat ubhayatra.

(Any soul can stand as a simile for God since soul is important and generator of imaginary world. Even the soul of human incarnation is not God and God only exists in it. Hence, any soul is not God).

God is generally compared to the soul, because soul is the most important item in the body as God is most important. God is compared to the soul in another aspect also, which is that God created this universe just like the soul creating imaginary world. For God, this world is just imagination only. Hence, soul is the best simile for God. Even in the case of human incarnation, God only exists in the soul. This clearly means that God is not the soul. Any soul is not God and hence the soul in the human incarnation is also not God. The only difference between the human incarnation and human being is that in the human incarnation God exists in the soul where as in human being, God does not exist in the soul.
