If I ask you a question…

Who are you?

What would be your answer?

In the early years of 20th century,

a scientist analyzed the

constituents of the human body.

Total worth of chemicals

Are we just bundles of

chemicals which have aligned together by chance &

are exhibiting various feelings &

emotions…

Sometimes happy

Sometimes sleeping

Sometimes smiling

Sometimes shocked

Sometimes shocked

Sometimes loving

Sometimes fighting

Don’t you feel we are more than the chemicals which constitute this

body?

Then, who are we ?

How are we different from a robot or a

machine

?

A lense of a Video Camera may see

No “Experience”No “Consciousness” No “Emotions”

No “Judging”

A human eye also sees, & has

ExperienceConsciousness Emotions

Judging capacity

But EXPERIENCE of seeing red light does not accompany this

mechanical response.

A machine may see red

light

Difference is the presence of

SOUL

which pervades in the body as

CONSCIOUSNESS

When a man dies we say

“He has passed away.”Who has passed away?Body is still lying there !!!

Actually what has passed away is the

SOUL

What the proof of presence of soul

?

CONSCIOUSNESS

That pervades the entire body

PAST LIFE MEMORIES

Ian Stevenson, Carlson Professor of Psychiatry

at the University of Virginia has extensively investigated over 2000 cases of spontaneous

reincarnation memories.

What BHAGAVAD

GITA speaks

about the SOUL ?

Krishna instructs …

“That which pervades the entire body you should know to be

indestructible. No one is able to destroy that

imperishable soul.”Bhagavad - gétä 2.17

“As the embodied soul continuously

passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul

similarly passes into another

body at death.”Bhagavad - gétä 2.13

“As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new

material bodies, giving up the old and useless

ones.”

Krishna further

instructs in

Bhagavad - gétä 2.20

“For the soul there is neither birth nor

death at any time. He has not come into

being, does not come into being, and

will not come into being.

He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the

body is slain.”Bhagavad - gétä 2.20

MODERN CIVILIZATION

Cage Polishing

Civilization

Soul is life after life transmigrating in 84,00,000 species

constantly changing bodies

Prahalad Maharaj instructs

kaumära äcaret präjïodharmän bhägavatän

ihadurlabhaà mänuñaà

janmatad apy adhruvam

arthadam

One who is sufficiently intelligent should use the human form of body from

the very beginning of his life to practice the activities of

devotional service.

The human body is most rarely achieved and although temporary, it is meaningful because in human life one

can perform devotional service.

Srimad Bhagvata

m instructs

…

After many, many births and deaths one achieves the rare human form of life, affords one the opportunity to attain

the highest perfection.

Thus a sober human being should quickly endeavor for

the ultimate perfection of life. After all, sense gratification is available even in the most abominable species of life.
