Jai Sri Baba lal ji_
Soul and the supreme both are alike but their approach is a bit different, soul represents the mundane world and supreme represents the entire existence whether known or not.
Soul is the fraction of supreme if one believes so.
Soul presides over the limitation of mundane existence where as lord presides over the entire creation.
Mundane world is matter and soul acts of its own volition on the chart of karma. Theory of karma binds one who indicates it, the soul which ever acts perform adjudged on the law of karma and results in either a good or bad stands the subjection of soul.
Mostly acts bring the charter of birth and rebirth but disinterested acts submitted in the lotus feet of lord reveals freedom from bondage. Freedom from bondage means reunion with supreme one. Reunion with supreme one means emancipation.
Blessings of saints help in reunion or emancipation.
May lord bless all.
Thanks please.
