The first question,'Who
am I?' is solved. 'I' is soul. And as long as soul lives in the body,
physical inanimate body works like a live object. On destruction of
body, soul's house is destroyed and hence soul is in the another body
known as microscopic body. It means that destruction of body is
directly linked to the departure of soul and this gives rise to the
huge and insurmountable confusion that living being is a physical
body and nothing else.
Let us consider few
examples. When a stick is waived, it waives not by itself but by the
motion of hand. If hand is taken off, stick falls to earth. Similarly
physical body, including hands and legs, which are as inanimate as
the stick seems to be working as they have life by virtue of the soul
which imparts vitality to the physical body.
There are automatic
robots. All their parts are inanimate, but the electricity puts
motion in them. Robots work like a live person but there is no life
in them of their own. In fact, electricity too is life less because
it lacks the vital element of a living being...Desire.
In the same fashion the
physical inanimate body works as if it has life of its own by virtue
of life that originates from soul. The source of life is soul.
Once it is accepted
that the soul is the source of life, it explains all anomalies of
person's death. Few people die young, some in youth, some after
ageing.
Few people die without
any reason. In most such cases the name given is heart attack, which
means stopping of heart beats. Why should heart stop functioning all
of a sudden? Because soul departed the body. Why did soul depart the
body? Because body was given to soul from God for some time period to
make its use to seek its infinite happiness. After tenure is over
soul is taken out of the body with force. On departure of soul the
body renders to its original state of inanimate physical matter.
