Your 'mind' is actually the sum-total of vibrations. So, it will always be beyond
the reach of science. And since you experience all your pains and pleasures
also on the screen of mind, science can never reveal the amount of pains and
miseries hidden in you or where does it come from. Neither will it ever succeed
in surgically removing those miseries from your body.
The one and only reason behind all the miseries and failures of our life is our
selfishness and the deeds induced by our selfish nature.
Tampering with nature and natural substances always costs us dear. We are
also bearing the consequences of tampering with our nature only.
The act which gives you happiness, which even the mind gets excited to do...
how could it be a 'sin'? After death, anyway you will not be able to do anything.
If something is considered right at a particular place at a particular time, the
same thing is rendered useless with the change of place and time. In that case,
of what relevance is the list of good and bad deeds that we are working upon?
Love is possible only step by step. If one loves himself, then only can he love
people around him and only if he loves people around him, can he fall in love
with the entire mankind... But some people directly fall in love with stones and
animals. Difficult to understand, as to who are they trying to deceive?
For a sensible person, the matter worth thinking about is, in the history of past
5000 years, what has been the role of millions of saints, priests and religious
agents in the betterment of the world, and in comparison what has been the
contribution of 500 scientists?... All that we need to decide is, who is genuinely
more compassionate towards mankind?
Is there a rebirth or reincarnation? Definitely yes... But according to the law of
nature, if you do not exist at all, then you cannot be 'born'; and if you exist, you
cannot be destroyed.
Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus
from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.
