Soul cannot exist without atma whereas atma does not need a soul to exist. Since atma is a miniscule form of mine, it is self illuminating. The miniscule form of mine that exists in your body is called jiva atma. This is so because this gives light only to a particular jiva. My absolute form is called para atma or paramatma.

REPLY: Let us discuss in detail about Athma (Soul) and Paramathma (Supersoul) in this Post. After reading, you can understand how the mayavadic concept of "Athma (Soul) and Paramathma (Supersoul) are the same" is baseless and false.
In Hinduism the atman ("breath," or "soul") is the universal, eternal self, of which each individual soul (jiva or jiva-atman) partakes. The jiva-atman is also eternal but is imprisoned in an earthly body at birth. The Muslim concept, like the Christian, holds that the soul comes into existence at the same time as the body;
Updated on June 29, 2019 The atman is variously translated into English as the eternal self, spirit, essence, soul, or breath. It is the true self as opposed to the ego; that aspect of the self which transmigrates after death or becomes part of Brahman (the force underlying all things). Jīva. (Jainism) Jīva ( Sanskrit: जीव) or Ātman ( / ˈɑːtmən /; Sanskrit: आत्मन्) is a philosophical term used within Jainism to identify the soul. [1] As per Jain cosmology, jīva or soul is the principle of sentience and is one of the tattvas or one of the fundamental substances forming part of the universe. The individual soul and Supersoul are compared to two birds which reside in the same tree. One of them (jiva-atma) is eating the fruits of the tree, while the other (param-atma) is just witnessing the activities of his friend. The witness is the Lord, and the fruit-eater is the living entity. The fruit-eater (living entity) which is overcome by
1 Chaitanya means consciousness, while soul is an english word which could mean anything depending on the context. Sometimes soul is used to refer to subtle body. Sometimes soul denotes the jiva. Sometimes Soul refers to the Highest Brahman.

The short answer to your question is - There is not much difference between Soul (Atman) and Kundalini. They are just the different names or perspectives of the same principal. To be more specific, Kundalini is a major part, but not complete, of awareness or the Atman (Sanskrit) that we call as Soul (English).

Both of you have asked many questions on the Nature Of Atma (Soul). Firstly, Atma (Soul) is a spark from the Supreme Lord Krishna who is the Paramatma, and it has no feeling for itself, but, it makes the senses to feel something. Atma (Soul) can be perfectly compared to electricity. .
