Another confusion which I had concerned the point which said “Atma na paida hoti hai, na marti hai” which is to say that soul is neither born nor it dies.
This led to a lot of confusion in my mind. Every being has a soul and in the last few years the number of human beings has increased multifold. If the above is true then there has to be increase in the number of souls. I will share the different thought process that I went through.
First, I thought, maybe some of the human beings just do not have the soul, but very soon found that the soul maybe at different stages of evolution but is there in all beings, and so the reason does not hold good.
Then, I started thinking that may be it’s the so called lower beings, as in animals, microbes, insects etc. which are evolving past their karma and coming as human beings. (In my mind when I saw people who were not very humane, this logic seemed to fit well ). The only problem with this was that I was not able to find any conclusive evidence which could hold it to be true. We still have more than enough living beings, so though there is a possibility that some of the souls may be advancing from these stages, but it could not explain the increase.
The search continued…
I meanwhile started looking more deeply into the message of Geeta, which said that we are the image of the “INFINITE” which is the supreme power. I also looked at the concept of universe as a hologram. In a hologram, every part contains all the information as the whole. That had my mind racing, saying that if this world is a hologram, then possibly we human beings are that small parts of the supreme power but contain all the information as the whole, but to access that stage we need to be aligned in a particular way. Even to access all the information on holograms, you need to get it under a light with particular wavelength. That seems to work for us human beings too as a lot of people who have spiritual experience are in a different frequency and hence wavelength at that point.
If I were to take the same logic forward, then I found that each one of us is capable of being broken into small pieces and still hold the same information. Infinite divided into anything is infinite. Maybe the human beings are taking this route to sort out their karma, and thus it leads to more number of people or the supreme power just creates more as from the INFINITE you can take away anything and still stays infinite.
I am also exploring if the parallel universe may give me some answers, but this is where I am today on this.
Would love to hear other’s views as my search still continues…
Mona, for a long time I too had the notion and confusion about multiplying souls. Not that it has been resolved now, but it doesn’t sway me now. As I see it is not only human beings only multiplying many other living beings are also multiplying. Some may be vanishing too. I wonder there could be ‘Rule of Souls’ which says that sum total of all the souls at any point of time in the universe is constant!! – just a possibility.
ReplyDeleteUr concept of hologram and parallel universe are interesting.
May be we are all limited by our mind and intellect and we cannot fathom that infinity now. But one day we are all going to be catapulted in to that infinity. I swear!!
Thanks for a great read.

Hi Dinesh, though I had tried to go with the concept of sum total of souls, but have not been very convinced with that and went further on parallel universe theory and holograms. If you can then get hold of, then try to read some of "SethSpeak" series... thats what introduced me to parallel universe theory and time being parallel and not linear. Linearity being where we take it that past is there and we are in present and then we have a future and each follows after the other, but in parallel state of time, you can jump from past/present/future at any point. Whatever has happened or will happen has already happened.
