Hare Krishna ,
All Glories To Srila Prabhupada
We often come across situation's when we tell other person we are not this body ,but we are spirit soul .
Now the problem is that what we say , have not been applied by us in full faith and practice of spiritual life .
Don't you think it is very easy to say to ourself or to other person that we are soul not this body
but when it come's to accepting it without even a minute doubt we reject it internally ?
How can we all be firm in conviction that we all are spirit soul and can practice Spiritual life without agitating our mind ?

Q. WHAT IS THE SPIRIT SOUL ?

Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
To realize that we are soul practically is very difficult but at least theoretically we know that.
So what we know we tell to others. And now let's see what does it mean to think that i am this body or not:
If we get satisfaction from material things like sense enjoyment then it means we are in the bodily platform. But if one is not satisfied with all these enjoyments and loves to chant and taste the Holy Names then it means he or she is in the spiritual platform.
So only seeing our goals in life we can judge person if he or she is in the bodily platform or in spiritual.
Your servant,
This mind will be agitated till the stage of prema. But Devotee occupies himself or herself in such a way so that he/she does not have time for lust. As Srila Prabhupada told. As like for grihastha Devotees it is highly recommended to worship Deities which means always keep home, body and mind clean and always busy with washing paraphernalia, making dresses for the Deities, bathing Them, cooking for Them...so not time for sense enjoyment.
Otherwise maya is very strong.
Your servant,
