Soul An eternal entity-2

=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya

The question confronting the scientists was the assumption that every existing entity should have the weight and that had the light not been traveling at astronomically high speed; it would have been possible to weigh the quantity of light. Whatever be the form of energy, whether it is light, electricity, sound, heat or magnetism, its definition is that it does not have weight. They are recognized by their effect on the objects. But the scientific enquiry is not complete by merely knowing the effect on objects.

That is why the principles of science and psychology do not match and an eternal question, in this intellectual age too, remains unresolved. Coincidentally, the attention of some scientists was drawn to this unresolved riddle. They found some clues, which proved to be very helpful in identifying the independent existence of the soul. Once Dr. Kilner of England was examining patients in the hospital. While checking a patient who was on the verge of death, he noticed, with the help of a microscope, some strange colours on the skin of that patient. Next day he got the patients clothes removed and again examined his skin with a powerful microscope. He was surprised to notice that the coloured light that was seen on the patients skin a day before was enveloping the patient from all sides in a layer of about 6 to 7 inches. It was also observed that whenever that light became dim, the pulse rate went down. After sometime, that envelope of light suddenly disappeared. Now when he tried to see the pulse, it had gone, that is the patient had died.

This left Dr. Kilner guessing whether the inner consciousness consists of a material akin to light, which is different from the matter what constitutes the gross body.
Dr. Kilner published this incident in several magazines and newspapers. These reports drew the attention of other scientists, too. An American scientist William Mc Dougal considered this incident to be of great significance. He got made a balance which can weigh the person along with the cot and that was very sensitive. A patient who was almost on the verge of death was admitted and he was made to lie along with the bed on the pan of the balance and his weight was recorded continuously.
As soon as the patient died, the machines needle indicated about one ounce less weight. This shows that whatever be the constituent of consciousness, its subtle body should also possess weight. Dr. McDougal also measured this weight in other dying patients and found that it varied from  to 1 ounce. He also concluded from his investigations that lesser the weight, more intelligent and scholarly was the person.
The definition of Indian philosophers about the soul  that it is luminous, eternal, omnipresent and independent of the gross body but tied to it by the bonds of ones deeds has now become the topic of scientific investigation. Dr. James Watson, a scientist of Harward University and Dr. Francis Chris, of Cambridge University have found that the threads of knowledge and virtues (Chromosomes) are found in the nuclei of the living cells which form the body. These are like the knots in a thread. These knots are called genes. This nucleus is the light element and since it is the essence of life it proves that it constitutes that very aura of light. When this light goes out of the body, the latter becomes dead. This shows that the soul exists as a separate entity that is different from gross matter. Human body contains around sixty trillion living cells.
The genes found in these cells may have a length of about 5 feet. The length of genes found in sixty trillion cells would be 300 trillion feet. This is only an estimated length. In fact, it is infinite. If it were possible for a person to concentrate his knowledge in this sublime subtle consciousness, he will find himself in the omnipresent consciousness.
This state has been called self- realization and it is attainable through rigorous Sadhana. So long as a person does not realize his own Real Self, he remains a helpless creature tied to the material bonds ignorantly going through the endless cycles of births and deaths. Once he awakens to the truth of his immortal identity as an eternal soul, the same very creature washes away all the accumulated sins of previous births and enters the luminous realm of Eternal Life and Bliss.

Thanks GOD,Thanks Sadguru,
