In many religious books it has been said that in all living creature there is soul ( AATMA ) and this soul is UNDESTROYABLE ,IMMORTAL AND HAVING NATURE OF TRANSFERRING ITSELF FROM ONE DEAD CREATURE TO ANOTHER NEWLY BORN CREATURE. It is also said that as soon as the body of a creature is dead the soul goes to another body as per GOOD AND EVIL KARMS. Thus the CONCEPTION OF GOD is prevailing in the society since a long time and therefore soul has been an important phenomenon in almost all the religious customs and KARMKANDS. Some orthodox person have created a fear in the minds of peoples to do such and such things like TERAHVI SANSKAR ,SUDDHI SANSKAR, OFFERING FOOD TO THE BRAHMINS IN THE “SHRADDH FORTNIGHTLY PERIOD” etc. for the peace of the SOUL OF THE DEAD otherwise THE SOUL WILL WANDER AND THEREFORE CREAT MANY TYPES OF TROUBLES AND TERRORS IN THE LIFE OF FAMILY PERSON. There is so much impact on the mind of the peoples that EITHER DUE TO FEAR OR DUE TO IGNORANCE it is very difficult to remove the idea from the deep roots in their mind that there is nothing like SOUL IN THE BODY OF ANY CREATURE.
LET US DISCUSS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN WHETHER SOUL EXISTS OR NOT ?
Since long it has been the subject matter of research for the scientists because the concept of the SOUL is prevailing NOT only in India but also in many countries . A long journey of research has shown that THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SOUL. IT IS THE CONCEPTION OF THE PERSONS WHO
BELIEVE ON ANY THING WITHOUT APPYLING REASON ON THE BASIS OF THE SCIENTIFIC FACTS .THEREFORE NOW THERE IS A QUESTION MARK ON IT.?
The class of people which does not agree on the existence or concept of soul is called as ATHEIST because this class does not believe in many other concepts e.g. GOD, HEAVEN ,HELL,MOKCHH etc. BECAUSETHEY EITHER DID NOT BELIEVE IN THESE THINGS OR HAVE COME OUT FROM THESE SUPERSTITIONS.
First of all we all should know and believe that THE SCIENCE IS LIKE THAT MIRROE WHICH NEVER TELLS A LIE BECAUSE IT SHOWS ONLY THAT WHICH IS TRUTH . The next thing is that nobody can claim that he/she knows all about all the subject/matters of the world. However one can apply one’s logic/reasoning to see what is correct or incorrect? Attainment of knowledge is continuous process of learning in which new truth is accepted over the past truth due to the result of the new researches even then if anybody continues to believe on baseless superstitions then nobody can help such person.
In this regard the facts presented by Late ShriMaharaj Sing Bharti M.P. are really considerable which are given here.There is a superstition that the God has given us a fixed number of breaths and one’s death is the exhaustion /finishing of the given breaths In this regard it should be seen that ALL THE ANIMALS AND ALL HUMAN BEING TAKE BREATH THROUGH MOUTH OR NOSE. THE WORK OF TAKING BREATH FROM AIR IS OF LUNG/LUNGS.THE AIR DOES NOT GO BEYOND LUNGS,THEOXYGEN TAKEN FROM THE AIR BY THE LUNG IS CARRIED UPTO MILLIONS/TRILLIONS/ZILLIONS CELLS. WE CAN NOT SAY LUNG AS ‘’ SOUL’’AS IT IS ‘’ LIKE THE BAG OF LOHAR’’ THIS LUNG/LUNGS CAN NOT BE SAID THE SOUL AS THE LUNGS ARE DESTROYED BY THE GERMS OF THE “ T.V.” WHILE IT IS SAID THAT THE SOUL IS UNDESTRUCTABLE. THERE IS NO ANY METER WHICH MAY COUNT OR TELL
THE ACCOUNT OF THE REMAINING BREATHS OUT OF FIXED BY THE GOD.
CAN THE ORGAN OF THE BODY WHICH TAKES BREATH BE SAID THE SOUL?
Our discussion cannot belimited upto human being because THE WORD LIVING CREATURE CONSISTS OF EACH THAT LIVING BODY WHICH TAKES BREATH/HAS MOTION e.g. ANIMALS,BIRDS , BEATELS AND EVEN CELLS , BACTERIAS AND EVEN LIVING PLANTS (BECAUSE AS PER BIOLOGY THE PLANTS/TREES ALSO TAKE BREATH AND HAVE REPRODUCTION SYSTEM ) .If we go on separating each layer of onion, in the last there will be only layer and nothing else in the sameway if we separate all the organs and cut into tiny parts.What we will find in the last? We will get only cells .The body is made of cells and cells. AS THE CELL IS ITSELF A LIVING BODY TAKING BREATH FOR ITS SURVIVAL. Not only this if any cell is taken out from the body and is kept outside the body in such environment asit is in the body, that cell will not only remain alive but also be able to increase its number by way of reproduction process. It is considerable point that THERE IS NO ANY SOUL IN THE BODY BECAUSE THE SOUL HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE CELL OF THE BODY ITSELF AS THE CELL CAN BE ALIVE OUTSIDE THE BODY ALSO.
If we suppose that the SOUL is in the cell then there should be billion /trillion or zillion SOULS in the body and there are more than zillions of creatures in the world, think how many SOULS should be there? It clearly shows that THERE CANNOT BE SOUL OR THE SOUL DOES NOT EXIST AT ALL . IF STILL THERE IS SOUL IN THE BODY CAN ANY ONE TELL THAT IN WHICH CELL OUT OF INNUMERABLE CELLS,THE SOUL EXISTS? ARE THERE MILLIONS OF SOULS IN A SINGLE HUMAN BODY? IF IT IS SO HOW MANY SOULS WILL BE IN THE WORLD? THE REPLY WILL BE ZILLION MULTIPLIED BY ZILLION THEN WHAT WILL BE THE TOTAL NUMBER ? THINK AND TELL.
Often we hear people saying that in the dinner party which I attended, how delicious the food was ? I ate too much because I liked the food very much .My soul became fully satisfied. It is wonder that THE SOUL CAN EAT AND GETS SATISFIED. Is it really that the soul eats food? On the contrary the reality is that eating and digestion are the metabolical process which takes place from the mouth to the intenstine in which various enzimes have major role. The food we eat is broken into pieces in the stomach with the ejaculation of the Hydrocloric acid and this acid comes out only when the food has come in the stomach. If even the smallest quantity of this acid is swallowed by any one ,the throat will be burnt by it. The essential food in the form of liquid is sucked from the small intenstine and is reached upto every cell through the blood. The waste is thrown out through rectum/anus. NOW THERE IS A QUESTION WHETHER THE FOOD WAS EATEN BY THE SOUL? IF YES AT WHAT POINT/PLACE AND BY WHICH PART OF THE BODY ? THE ANSWER IS NONE AND THE FACT IS THAT THERE IS NO SOUL IN THE BODY. LIKE OTHER SYSTEMS THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM ALSO WORKS ON CERTAIN PROCESS. If any body eats food it is BLOOD WHICH INTURN GIVES FOOD TO THE CELLS.
3 Another thing we often see that those who catches fishes from the river/ponds they use KENCHUA IN THE ANCHOR TO ATTRACT THE FISHES. These people cut the KENCHUA in pieces . We see the pieces live like independent body------the piece can move and live .Kenchua is also a living creature.Have we ever thought that in which part/piece of the KENCHUA the SOUL lives? The answer is none as there is no soul at all.
4 We see that if lizard is touched by any person or by any rod it leaves its tail on the earth and the tail remains alive .In which part of the lizard the soul was there?Main lizard or the tail? The answer is none as there is no existence of the soul.
Dharm aur Aadhyaatmikta
Most of the people think that religion and spirituality both are the same thing while it is not so. Both are quite different things. Spirituality is an expansion of our awareness to suffering around us specially the suffering we cause to all other living entities, beginning with our own kind as has been described by Mr Shantun Nagarkatti.
