Whether Soul exists What is unknown soul? Is it ghost, celestial being hellish being unembodied spirit, unembodied super soul-God. Atma, paramatma, devetma or human beings - embodied soul? Where is the island of unembodied soul? Are island of supersoul, celestial being & hellish being soul different like heaven & hell? How unembodied soul travel to their own destination i.e. heaven or hell? Are soul atomic, infinitesimal, omnipresent, infinite, shapeless weightless, having no spatial qualities them how they travel? Whether soul gets liberated on death or transmigrate or recarnate or get rebirth as religion says according to their karmas. We can't fathom on creation of world, God's purpose as designer or on existence of God, Ghost, animal as any spirit or soul. Earth is bright jewel, in vast cosmos only living planet-till today with marvelous variety of forms of life, oceans, air soil forests. How universe, Jivas created evoluted? What is soul or consciousness whether it survives after death or not? There is if rebirth what about past or future life? If soul survives death after destruction of body why should we regard outselves as destroyed? We must be able to go on thinking, feeling, willing remembering & go on experiencing, the same life. Why not we live till our all bad karmas are destroyed & till our soul becomes pure so all accounts of papa & punya will be solved in one birth only & no rebirth is required? Incarnation recornation or transmigration is unravel mystery. If mental life - self - soul continue unchanged and become attached to different body he should be able to describe our different bodies like lorry or vehicle driver changes his vehicle can describe the previous vehicle he driven?
You can't predict what is on other side of moon unless you reach there & investigate so describe other side of moon will be experience of blind, men without eyes or colour blind men with open eyes who enjoy multicoloured, imagines world of light, color, & sound. Because to describe life after death we have to come back reviving death & no one returns after death. Hinduism, Christianity, Islam believe souls come into existence out of nothing, soul continues to work, enjoy and continue to exist throughout eternity in some form or other is unborn eternal constant, unconstructable unclearable, incombustible neither wetted nor dried. No Philosophy has explanation how soul is entrapped in body. No language evolved to express soul God. Beliefs of soul, God Ghost spirit are only emotive mystics & takes refuse in excuse that language e is metaphysical analogous or symbolic & means are beyond them. There is no direct language to prove existence of soul God,
