SCIENCE OF
SOUL
Based on the teachings of
His Divine Grace A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami
PrabhupadaFounder Acharya
International Society for Krishna Consciousness
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
CALCIUM
IRON
PHOSPHORUS
WATER CONTENTOTHER SUBSTANCES
Rs. 210/-
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.
