Eternal nature of the soul.

Eternal nature of the soul.

We take birth in the universe with entire ignorance into our minds. Slowly we get some knowledge of the world from our surroundings and environment. The finite and selfish nature of the self, causes our body to move such that, it is always after satisfaction of bodily desires through the use of materialistic substances and it does not care much to know its genuine nature and reunion with God, The Creator and Sustainer of life.

It is the responsibility of religion to teach the humans to act in such a way that along with the satisfaction of individual desires, the man also exerts for his emancipation. The human lifespan is about unstable nature and time of death is uncertain. Hence it turns necessary for human beings to put their endeavors for the attainment of self realization and thereby emancipating their soul from worldly miseries and acquire eternal bliss.

The world today is in great need of a system or a method which confirms to the scientific standards and whose modus operandi is acceptable to the people without questioning. As well as the human society is in severe need of such a divine system, which when applied to an individual or a group of people would result in the acquirement of both the worlds and godly aims. The most significant weakness of today’s religious system working in the universe is it's complication. It is not easily inferred that which one of the operating system is true and correct to follow.

We see in our everyday life that the babies are getting born, growing up, becomes young, get old, and ultimately die one day. In giving a thought over this fact, one wonders what is the life? Who am I? From where I came to the universe? Where would I go? What will happen to me after death? What for is life? Why it is given to me as well as to other creatures? Is there someone who controls the life and its activities? If yes, then who is He and what is his true nature and form? How he could be pleased to make our lives better? What is the true aim of the life? And how to live and attain that aim?

Answers to all these questions, elucidations of mystery nature of the universe and other entities have been given by various personal including various incarnations of the God,  which ultimately resulted in a faith which has expounded some kind of rules and precepts to follow.

‘God’ and ‘Soul’ are the only two recognized  eternal things so far and everything except these two is thought,  believed, claimed and proved to be transitory. Even these entities could also be proved to be elusive and fallacious and these two could be proved to dissolve into an entity known as ‘nothingness’. This nothingness is a state of consciousness that is capable to absorb and suck completely into itself and then emerge suddenly into life out of nowhere and start performing every activity which it desires. In this manner each and every thing present in this universe could be proven illusory and a mere fallacy.

However we observe that universe remains as it is about the death of individuals. This proves (or at least tries to show) that ‘nature’ is eternal. But the phenomenon of decaying which is applicable to everybody, when applied to whole universe proves that the universe also has its life, though it is much more than a human being which is merely about a hundred years.

Since creature should have come from somewhere, it is believed that the soul is eternal and suffers transmigration until its liberation from the bondage of life and death. And since we are not much potent and always find ourselves impotent before an unseen power controlling destiny of creatures, phenomenon of ‘God’ comes into existence, who is believed to be omnipotent and all capable to destroy our miseries and grieves. Hence, only the Soul and the God (Supreme Soul) remains to be considered as eternal and nothing other than these two is everlasting.
