Who is Responsible for Our Birth?

Examine the vastness from the perspective of souls. A billion is difficult to imagine for us. Decillion upon decillions souls exist on Earth. Souls on the ground, in the water, in the air, in arid regions, in the polar regions, inside the ground, and on the clouds. Relentless work, and reproduction, and with a unique ecosystem for each species. Viewed from the soul’s perch, we are identical. Differences emerge with the body a soul dwells in. The splendor we witness on Earth, in the sky, in the stars, galaxies, and beyond possess an identical soul. The soul in the Sun is identical to our soul. They are eternal. They are true. They are intelligent. Soul’s quality: eternality (absence of birth and death), true (unchanged existence in past, present, and future), and intelligence. Superiority among souls is absent. The matter we witness on Earth will possess differences, but souls are indistinguishable. Beguiles our mind seeing our self from the perspective of the soul. 

Soul occupies a body, and departs at a preordained time. A soul in an iron rod, subjected to intense heat, and hammered to shape and form does not feel the heat and pounding. It does not feel cold. It does not have health and wealth. It is not frightened of being eaten alive. Expansion and contraction are not its domain. Soul is atomic in size. There is not an object smaller than a soul. In Samskrutham, it is known as Anuvu. It is not made up of the five elements. It is a distinct entity with divine elements, because it cannot perish. Perishable is nature, because it exists with eternal change. 

Why should a soul depart at a predetermined time from a body? The formation of an object’s body is dependent upon the baggage of our soul. Qualitatively all souls are identical in properties. The baggage it carries with, in the form of mind, is different. That baggage is ‘karma.’ It is imperative to agree upon ‘karma’ to discover the disparity we witness in nature. We need a binding element that can bring everything together. We will comprehensively understand the kaleidoscopic events on a broad canvas of nature with ‘karma.’ Without ‘karma,’ we will own our successes, and failures assume external quality, and our arrogance’s stock multiplies. Detrimental existential formula. 

Soul is made up of 14 elements. We discussed mind and intelligence extensively. Our understanding, and appreciation will take a quantum leap with an elemental makeup of the soul. Soul is five sensory organs, five functioning organs, mind, intelligence, ‘aham tatvam,’ and primordial nature. The reader would be well served to know that both ‘aham tatvam,’ and primordial nature have existed since cosmic phenomenon commenced. Primordial nature is the seed form of the five elements, and five qualities of nature. From Primordial nature ‘aham tatvam’ formed. Aham tatvam splits further into three qualitative states of nature. Satvam, Raajasa, and Taamasa. The Big Bang happens in our body continually every time new cells emerge. The code of conduct at atomic level is unchanged from the start of creation. When a new cell forms in our body, the process commences with formation of primordial nature. Subsequent elements join as the process expands. Did we ever imagine the Big Bang occurring within our body soundlessly? It does. Why should we trust an unscientific account? For the simple reason that we are not scientists. Secondly, scientists have yet to discover life. Third, such a detailed account of creation is beyond the reach of the scientific community as of this moment. 

The best in everything is ‘satvam.’ Indolence is ‘taamasa.’ ‘Raajasa,’ oscillates between ‘satvam,’ and ‘taamasa,’ and gives life to an object. Our sensory, and functioning organs are formed from ‘satvam,’ and five elements, and five qualities of the elements are formed from ‘taamasa.’ ‘Raajasa’ does the work through the body the soul occupies. Nature exists in three states. Pure satva (total absence of raajasa, and taamasa), mixed satva, and void of satva. Discussion on pure satva is impertinent at the moment. Mixed satva is the nature we witness galactically. Void of satva is the element of time, for time exists unimpacted by the changes we witness. It measures the duration an object takes to transform from one state to the next.

Subtle existential influences are shown in detail to discover who is responsible for our birth? Who amongst us does not know the cause for our birth. Our parents are responsible. Cause and effect are divergent with our birth. Parents caused our birth, but we suffer the consequences. Logically, this is an unacceptable outcome. Cause and effect must rest with the same entity. Parents may be noble, but children are rotten, and vice versa. We would have witnessed among siblings that only one child succeeds. The disparity we witness is unimaginably vast. When parents depart, children must also depart simultaneously if cause and effect principles are applicable. We send our parents away for their onward journey, but we continue to exist in discordance in the logical existence of thought. 

When we were in our mother’s womb, cause and effect were congruent. With birth, cause and effect assumed divergence. Imagine our world if cause and effect were congruent, life would have ceased many generations back. Our birth, and the unique results every soul enjoys, or suffers is from the baggage of karma. Look at the vastness from the subtle influences on our soul. Our soul selects the most optimum carrier for our birth. The baggage of karma directs our birth. Our birth, as a human, is our choice. Our parents are selected by us. As humans, and as the only species capable of discovering these subtle elements, controlling birth and death of species is the greatness of our ancestry, and the divine plan to escape the birth and death cycle suffered by every object we witness. Human race does not suffer from lack of adequate help to elevate our existence. We suffer because we fail to connect the intelligence of our existence with voluminous knowledge that was meticulously gathered for posterity of the human race. Awakening of our intelligence is guaranteed when we come into contact with terminology of the subtle qualities of our soul. Intelligence is vastly superior to karma, because there is no guarantee our karma will lead us onto a better and better path. Let us awaken to intelligence knowing that we are responsible for our birth, our parents, our culture, our traditions, our values, and our future direction. Post-Modern era will alleviate karmic influences on humanity to protect cosmic vastness.
