PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL
Do you not rely on a physician or a qualified medical practitioner to cure yourself? Thus you rely on trained skill and qualified technical knowledge of persons in matters of respective jobs then why not rely on the Omniscient Lords, adept in spiritual science in matters relating to soul.
The Omniscient Lords have described the world as the ocean, as in this world infinite number of souls traverse as drops of water do in the ocean and they have infinite number of births.

Were you not delivered from the womb ? Were you dropped here on the earth from above ?”

It was confinement in the dark-with terrible heat baking the food swallowed by the mother. There was all filthy and dirty smell—with our hands and feet tight in the womb. But after we came to the worldly light,
