The book The Science of the Soul states that it is crucial to live long enough to find God, otherwise, one would need to keep reincarnating until God is fully realized. While this information may not be entirely accurate, the book offers insightful thoughts on life’s vulnerabilities and sheds light on the true meaning of “God”, but it still leaves one with a fear of the afterlife.

The Science of the Soul is a rather pessimistic, even cynical outlook regarding life on earth and life after death. The Science of the Soul seems designed, for example, to highly motivate (terrify?) one into meditating daily on God and into obeisance to one’s Guru or Master because only their living Master would be qualified of course! Furthermore, according to the author, one would otherwise suffer dearly for eons and eons of time in very negative states until one happens to get another human body which is, again according to the author, not only absolutely essential for finding God but exceedingly hard to find. Many of the great religions, for eons of time, promoted fearful ideas of this nature in order to keep the masses subservient. After all, fear is one of the strongest motivators and a favorite tool used by powerful institutions to manipulate others.

Avoid ages of suffering and confusion by learning how to “die daily”

I still however would not like to take chances when facing the unknown territories of death. Even if this were just another so-called “teaching” or “philosophy” why would anyone in their right mind want to take this level of risk? Can anyone be sure of what will happen to you when you die? Is it really good sound policy just to rely on one’s own assumptions and unproven beliefs? Can anyone be certain that all one’s after-death experiences will be pleasant ones? As a result, I would much rather err on the side of caution than take my chances! According to “The Path of Sant Mat” or the teachings of “Radha Soami,” one should start by learning how to “die daily” (meditate extremely deeply) using the Surat Shabd Yoga technique described in this book.

Life on Earth, Fear and Suffering

To be honest, life on earth (and anywhere for that matter) seems too hard for everyone. Basically, no one can completely escape suffering, no matter how hard one may try. Consequently, there are no easy shortcuts from the painful lessons one must learn and the lessons one must face.

My whole life has been full of emotional pain and suffering, forcing me to search for things that could possibly help my life’s journey in many ways. If it were not for all that my suffering, anxieties, and pain have taught me, I would probably never have written so much about wholeness and spirituality and created a spiritual website that attempts to find solutions to the most difficult issues facing humanity that are free for all to read.

As an illustration, who really is happy? Are you really happy? Even If you think you are and it is not a spiritual or “Divine” joy, but rather only a “materialistic” from-day-to-day joy, it would have to end someday, because according to The Science of the Soul, nothing materialistic is permanent, and you never know when it will end. Even spiritual happiness can be transient if it is not based on sound principles and sound teachings.

Best to be on the Safe Side

The Science of the Soul really expresses quite well the awful sufferings and miseries of the human condition and how futile and idiotic materialistic existence is. At the same time, the author states that only humans in their physical bodies have the opportunity to find God or permanent escape from the wheel of birth, suffering, and death. Wholeness is According to The Science of the Soul, only as humans living in the flesh have the capability to meditate in the third eye and listen to the inner sounds, it behooves one to seek God as much as possible while he or she still can before it is too late; otherwise, according to this book, one is in danger of devolving down to lower species and not even getting a human body again for many, many eons.

Again, at least this is what the author states. I do not entirely agree with this Author, just wondering how true these statements really are, and yet to be on the safe side, should probably not dismiss them carelessly. In other words, even if The Science of the Soul could be wrong, why take the risk? Rather than be taken by surprise and possibly subject to all manner of questionable afterlife conditions and future incarnations, I would meditate regularly and do everything I can to find God before dying anyway. And furthermore, we need to avoid too much worldly attachment, unpreparedness, and confusion.

We Need More Research

Nevertheless, there are other more open theories that we create our own reality, but how would one know for sure exactly what reality one has created for one’s self so far and will create in the future for this world and the next? Regardless, much more research is needed, and several hours of deep, daily meditation and personal experience of higher consciousness might be the finest and simplest form of inner research ever. The answer may lie in one’s state of being which may be the ultimate source of what sort of quality of life in the hereafter one experiences.

Furthermore, some of the mysteries and problems outlined in The Science of the Soul can be solved by studying some of the amazing near-death experiences I have written about in previous articles (see my resource information). As a result of all this understanding, is it not far better to find wholeness within ourselves and even “die daily” in scientific, Master-guided meditation in the third eye on the inner sounds rather than avoiding interest in spiritual subjects only to continue on one’s materialistic pursuits without regard to the inevitable demise at the end of life? Such an approach would be hazardous because, after all, who thinks one is going to live forever, anyway?

Concluding Thoughts

Even if one somehow finds a way to live indefinitely with all the latest research on antioxidants, diets, genes, etc., this possibility, (barring injury or accidental death) one would still have to endure an eternity of being stuck or limited to the confines, laws, and restrictions of a physical body. Either way, regardless of what the author of that book claims, one still, ultimately has to evolve (grow or transform spiritually) and transcend these restrictions!

Be that as it may, The Science of the Soul and other books by the same author seem to be available only in certain bookshops and mainly those associated with the spiritual organization that had the book published. I cannot find it at any leading online bookstore which usually seems to carry everything. However, there are some good websites to get more information. For example, one can find a fascinating, free online book, The Crown of Life on the Path of Sant Mat (Surat Shabd Yoga) by looking up that title on the internet which is on a website that contains several more profound books and talks by Kirpal Singh including one on life after death.

In conclusion, regardless of your chosen path or religion (if any), I wish you all the best on your path toward wholeness. Just being alive, no matter what form or state, means one is automatically always trying to reach wholeness.
