Once,
someone asked me an interesting question. The question pertained to death
rituals observed in various religious faiths. Each religion claims that its death
ritual is the only one that guarantees the departed soul a ‘rest in peace’.
Does that mean that the souls in other religions roam around restlessly? ;-)

Does soul exist? <---- That is the question that can liberate you
Though
there were disagreements among Indian philosophers about the ‘real’ nature of the
soul and whether it is one or many, they seem to be unanimous on one issue.

Does soul exist? <---- Only the soul exists and nothing else!
The
Upanishads declare that it was only the soul that existed in the very
beginning. And this soul ‘became many’.

Does soul exist? <---- Of course it does.
The
ancient Sänkhya philosophers adopted a purely dialectical approach to
everything. They even went to the extent of rejecting the idea of God since,(according
to them) the concept of God is not essential to explain the world as it exists.
But they were very firm on the existence of soul.

Does soul exist? <---- Useless question to ask!
Buddhists,
while they believe firmly in re-birth, at the same time insist that the soul
does not exist – anatta* (no atta – no
soul) as they declare!

Does soul exist? <---- There is no proof that it does
That
is what a true scientist would say. He won’t say – “soul does not exist” since
he does not have a proof for that either.

Watch out, you are reaching the limits!
The CEO of one US company used to annually post ‘April fool’
prank on his social media site just to confound his clients. But this year he
refused to do so, since he felt that the way the social media has been used
nowadays to spread all kinds of misinformation has made him sick.
