Yesterday night, I was talking with one of
my juniors while having dinner. Our talks were general then it got diverted
towards some unsolved questions. Actually we saw a television commercial which
was saying that tobacco causes cancer and alcohol is injurious to health. Our
talk was on the comparison between a smoker and non smoker. A smoker is going
to die early than the non smoker. But death is final. Actually death doesn’t differentiate
between a smoker and a non smoker. In Hindu religion, death is called as
ultimate truth. Death is inevitable. No one can escape from the clutches of
death.
Then I told him that the concept of heaven
and hell is man made. It’s not created by God. This doesn’t mean that I’m not a
God fearing person. I believe in God. After all, the God is creator of
everything in this world. He created every living and non living thing in this
world including human being. The only reason that human is superior is due to
its brain. Even animals have their brains with them but only human is the only
species which has developed so much. This has happened due to the proper
utilisation of the brain. The concept of heaven and hell is the product of
human brain. Actually, every religion in this world has stated that its
followers should be nice and have good actions. If the followers are on the
path of helping others and performing their duties in the rightful manner then
they would be rewarded as getting a place in heaven. If they don't help others
and hurt others then they will be burning in the hell. This differentiation has
been done to stop the followers from indulging in the destruction. Because
founders or foremen of every religion were really wise persons. They knew that
the mutual harmony and helping nature only can lead to the positive output like
constructive work. This is the highlighted thing which has been said in every
religious sculpture and has been preached.
If a person is helpful and serving to the
society then he or she is highly appreciated and respected. On the other hand,
if the person is hurting others and is harming the society at large then he or
she is considered as villain and the person is hated. Its all like cause and
effect. The cause is the action which a person does. The effect is the result
of those actions. The effect is differentiated as heaven and hell. The pleasure
and happiness is the heaven on earth and the pain and hatred is the hell.
The second part was that, according to Hindu
philosophy, a soul is immortal. The soul doesn’t take birth and it doesn’t
dies. Here rises my question. My question is if the soul is immortal and free
from the cycle of life and death then the population of the world must have
been constant. Then how the world’s population is increasing? It shouldn’t happen.
But the population should be in control. For every living being, a soul is
necessary. According to Hindu philosophy, it’s said that the soul lives in
various living beings before entering a human body. Then in that case, the
growth of other creatures should be in control. But it’s not happening like
that also. Just as I said above that I’m a God fearing person. I’m not saying
anything against him. I believe in him. But I’m not superstitious. That’s why I’m
asking these questions. If anyone of you have answer then do reply me in the
comment box.
