The Soul

Thanks for the overwhelming response and glad to restart our postings on matters of spiritual interest after a long gap.
We will take up the problem of Birth, Life, and Death of a person (jiva).
First, why should the Soul take up a  body only to discard it? Before that, "Who is this Soul, the Atman?" Then, having taken birth, "Who suffers the problems of life- is it the Soul or the Body and Mind?"
These are very difficult questions to answer and we will try to explain with the help of Brahma-Sutras, Rk Veda Samhita, Katha Upanishad and Atma Upanishad.
 Nasasdiya Sukta of Rk Veda says "There was neither existence (sat) or non-existence (asad) in the beginning". Then came darka matter "arnav", a bubble like vibration in the Ocean of Consciousness (arnav). This created sound, varna (colour/gunas/numbers/alphabets), and connsequently the forces (Shakti) manifested from the Energy of ? ?  May we call It/HIM/THAT (tat) 'Brahman', supreme Lord, or God?
  Thus there is a Vedic statement: "Everything is Brahman" (Sarvam khalvidam Brahmaa). Thus, there is only One, 'ekam', that is called 'Brahman' and, all else is His Will (citta) and its vibration (cittavrutti). Thus, our Soul is energy manifest from His Will (Shiva or Hari Citta). It is a energy particle (Neutrinos) of the core of the SUN.
(to be continued...)
