Body and Soul
Body and soul together form the complete person.
Zoroastrianism sees body and soul as complementary, not opposed. Both are good creations. The resurrection includes the body because the complete person includes both physical and spiritual dimensions.
Body and soul together serve the truth.
This holistic view affirms both physical and spiritual dimensions.

Body and soul are treated as complementary and both good, which is why the resurrection is bodily — a complete person includes the physical. Illness is not a soul being freed from a cage; it is half of you being injured.
