Read the following lines and answer the question that are given:
Dust thou art, to dust returnest
Was not spoken of the soul........
i) What does the first line refer to? Where does it go?
ii) What happens to the soul?
i) The first line refers to a man’s body.
A man’s body, according to the Bible, returns to the very dust that it is believed to have originated from. That is to say, the body goes back to the very place of its origin in the end, and so its existence is not of much value.
ii) In contrast to the human body, which is believed to have originated from dust and is supposed to return to it on death, the same was not spoken for the soul. This means that in spite of the body leaving to turn into dust, the soul stays on and continues to exist even after death.
