Is there a Paramatma or Supreme Soul ?

Is there a Paramatma or Supreme Soul ?

While attending a sibir and satsang in Darshan Yoga Mahavidyalaya at Aryavan, I got a sense of the logical need for the existence of God/Paramatma. Let me share what I understood.

When we look around, we can see lot of things created by us. For example, take a chair, which we use for sitting. If we analyse, we can see that, it has a definite design and functionality. There is a provision for sitting comfortabily. There may be provision for resting the arm or may not. It is generally higher than the level of floor. It is easy to sit in the chair and to get out of the chair. There is a designed way to sit in chair, may be you can sit only from the front. It may be difficult or not possible to sit from back or from sides. There is a definite way to place the chair. If we kept upside down or in a tilted way, it may not be usable for sitting, or improper usage may even damage the chair. We can also note that it may not be suitable for standing, running or sleeping, etc. There is a definite life, and degradation cycle for the chair also. Or in other words, there are definite functions, functionalities, and ways of operation. It is even possible to have a user's manual and operator's manual for the chair.

If we investigate further, we can see that there is a designer for the chair. There is a maker also. These designers and makers are the people who conceived/designed it, and the person who constructed or moulded it based on the designs. The designer and maker may be the same person also.

There is a designer and maker for everything which has a function or functionality.

If we look around, then we can see lot of things which has definite function and functionalities. We can see our stove, electric bulb, fan, shoes, dress, car, bus, notebook, pen, pencil, computer, radio, television, railways, rockets, space station etc. All these things have a definite function. And if we investigate further, all these useful things around us has a designer/maker. We can see that there is a designer for everything, from needle to airplane.

Nothing has formed automatically. There is always a designer and maker. And all these things has definite functions and functionality. A chair cannot be used in place of a needle. A car cannot be used in place of a airplane. Everything created by us has a definite function and functionality. Or everything which has function and functionality has a designer/maker.

The nature or natural things around us has definite functions and functionality.

Now if we look around we can see lot of natural things. Let us look at rivers. It has a definite function and functionality. It flows from top towards the down side. During rains it has more water, or during summer time water may get dried up. There are lot of animals and plants live within it or surrounding it. When we build dams across it, the water started accumulating behind it. It may have flooded over the land along with the plants and creatures there. There is a definite way it works. There is a definite way it functions. There are definite way by which it becomes nonfunctional also. There is a definite way we can make best use of it. There are definite activities which may make dysfunctional also. In other way, the river system has it's own functions and functionalities.

And now, if we extend our observation that everything which has a function and functionality has a designer/maker, then there needs to be a designer/maker for this river system also. Is n't there is a need for science and education to include the study on this designer also in our curriculum.

Our body has lot of systems and functionalities

Let us look within our body. We can see that there are definite functions and functionalities for each and every organs of our body. There is eyes, ear, nose, mouth, skin, hands, legs, etc. which serves definite functions of the body. Not only that all these organs and systems are working together in a coordinated manner, and we can see there are lot of functions and functionalities in it. If we observe further, we can see that there is skeletal net work in the body, nerves net work, digestion network, circulation of blood in a well defined and definite way, purification of blood, process of digestion of food, maintenance of various internal organs of body etc. We can see that body is a marvelous system, with marvelous design, functions and functionalities. And if we extend our observation that everything which has function and functionality has a designer/maker, there need to be a designer/maker for our human bodies also. Is not there a need for science and education to include the study on this designer also in our curriculum?

Systems and functionalities around us

If we look further, we can see lot of marvels in the world. There is an eco system. If we break the eco system, we get the after effects of the breakage. There is environmental system, which has definite function and functionalities.

The science has studied the functions and functionalities of environment, and therefore it can predict most of the environmental changes. It co-relates the cause and effect on environmental system, by industrialization, urbanization, deforestation etc. It is very interesting to note that, with every advance of science, we can find out marvellous system of functions and functionality in the nature around us.

And if we extend our observation that everything which has function and functionality has a designer/maker, there need to be a designer/maker for these marvelous systems in earth. Is not there is a need for science and education to include the study on this designer also in our curriculum?

Let us look beyond earth. There is solar system. It has definite system of satellites and they rotate in a well defined way. The solar system rotates by itself also. There is also galaxy, the Milky Way, in which our solar system is a part. The solar system rotated in the Milky Way, and even the Milky Way is moving in a definite direction.

And even the science has seen that there are lot of galaxy's and all these are going towards a particular direction with particular speed and attributes. Therefore we can see definite functions and functionalities out there in the universe also.

And if we extend our observation that everything which has function and functionality has a designer/maker, there need to be a designer/maker for the solar system and universe. Is not there is a need for science and education to include the study on this designer also in our curriculum?

There is Owner’s manual or Users manual for everything created by someone and used by somebody else.

We can see that it is always the responsibility of the designer/maker to provide the users with owner’s manual or user’s manual for the proper and best usage of the same. We can see these for almost all the things we use in everyday life. Without a user’s manual or owner’s manual it will not be possible to operate anything which has a function and functionality. We can see that all the systems with a function and functionality and created by human beings have a user's manual or operator's manual.

Is Vedas the Operator/User manual of life & creation?

The Vedas says Paramatma (Supreme Soul or God) as the creator of the universe. It is always the responsibility of the designer/creator to provide the users with owner’s manual or user’s manual. It is said that the Vedas are the operator's manual or user's manual for the creation. It was given to the man at the time of creation itself. Even the modern science has accepted the Vedas as the first book of the world.

Therefore it is quite logical to study Vedas as a book of creation. Don’t you think that by neglecting the study of the Vedas, we may miss lot of functions and functionalities of life?

Don't you think, we need to study the operator's manual or user’s manual of life & creation?

Why the 'I's or soul / atma included in the science and education?

Who am I?

We all are growing, we are getting educated, we are progressing. That is the general statement we hear. Are we really growing. Who is this real 'I'

Consider ourselves about 5 years before, 10 years before, when we were teenager, when we were going to school, when we were child etc. Is anyone ever felt that he or she was different at these times? If we analyse impartially we can see that, when we were children, we were using the knowledge and strength at that time, and expressing ourselves. When we have grown further, say become a teenager, we got more understanding and strength and emotions. But it is the same 'I' who is using the mind, body, intelligence etc. When 'I' have grown further, my knowledge about certain things may have increased, or strengths may have increased, or understanding may have increased. However, if we observe ourselves, we can see that, it is the same 'I' in all these times. Our feelings, thoughts, experiences may be different at different ages. It is the same fundamental 'I' who is having all experiences. It was same 'I' who were strugling to speak, study, and doing all kinds of things. We always talk about the body, the mind, our understanding as 'I'. However, we misses to acknowledge the one who is having or using mind, body etc. Do any one experienced whether this 'I', has changed during the course growing? When we are tired, it is the same 'I' which is unchanged, but only the body/mind is tired. When we are excited, it is the same 'I' unchanged, using the excited mind/body. And this may be the fundamental entity called atma. It is not what I have (ie. Mind /body /feelings /experiences).

Whether this 'I' was there before my birth (of my body/my life). Whether 'I' will become NULL or ZERO with death? It is a question, which is unanswered even by the modern science! Science has find out logic and reason behind everything in the universe. The birth and death, still continue to be 'miracles'!. There may be something missing in the realm of science, which is using reason and logic in all aspects. Is the science missed the entity 'atma' in it's research & studies?

Why we are born under different circumstances?

We all are born different. Even though the science call us human beings, each of us is with different abilities, capabilities and circumstances. Some are born in wealthy families, some in poor. Some in educated families, some in healthy families, some in wealthy countries, some in poor countries, some with good body & organs, some with poor body or organs. The body, mind and circumstances are closely connected with the pleasure, joy, irritations, sufferings and pains of life. Any science or logic, which is not able say 'why we have such pleasures and pains', then certainly that science is incomplete. There may be something missing in the world of science.

The science is able to say, because of money, because of hormones, because of genes, because of organs, because of environment.....etc.... But the fundamental question is why the'I' has to experience all these. What the new bourn 'I' in a wealthy circumstances experience, and what are the experience of the new born 'I' in poor circumstances, etc. There need to be some cause for these experiences also. There need to be some logic and reason. The science has proven everything. There is a need to prove the cause for these experiences happening to a new born baby. The science will become complete when they complete the logic and reason for everything, including the new born 'I's. There may be something missing in the world of science. There is a need to include this fundamental 'I's, in the subject matter of education and science.

Who is the cause of the developments, progress and distruction in our world?

We see lot of people around us, who are doing great service to fellow human beings. Some are committed to the progress of society. Some are committed to remove the sufferings in the community around them. Some are committed to the education of people around them. Some are committed to the happiness of the people around them. Some are committed to the wealth and health of people around them. Some are committed to the progress, comforts, entertainments, etc.

Is the people I mentioned above are just the marvels of their geans or harmones. Is it only because of the geans or hormones they are doing all these great things? Is the 'I's in these human beings are different from their genes and harmones? Is the 'I's in these great human beings are just a random combination of chemical or bio-chemical entities? Is these great human beings were responsible for the things to be happen through them? Or is they were only some super computers, made up of inert materials?

Is the developments, progress, etc. caused by a miraculous combination of inert material, or it were caused by the 'I's in these great human beings? Is n't, the logic, reason and rationalism we studied in our education is compelling us to include another entity 'I' in their studies? Is the science and education will be complete without the study of these 'I's?

Who is in friendships, love, affinity, togetherness etc. ?

We see lot of people in the world, who are committed to friendships, love, affinity, togetherness etc. Who is having these feelings and actions? Who is the cause of it? Who is responsible for the same? 

One may think that, it is the similarity (or complementality) in health, wealth, capabilities, capacities, circumstances are the cause.  The above may be the attributes which initiated the friendships or affinity.   There are lot's of examples, where we can see that the affinity continues, whether the above circumstances which initiated the relationship, is continuing or discontinued. Is n't there exist some 'I', who is above/beyond these circumstances and conditions, and taking actions consciously or subconsciously? 

Is it because of harmones and genes and chemicals, that people come together and acknowledge each other. These can be a factor supporting togetherness. But who is responsible for togetherness? Who chooses to be in love? Who chooses to be in togetherness? Is n't the entity which chooses to be together is above the 'intelligence', 'feelings', 'emotions','bio-chemical causes', etc? Is n't the entity 'I', who is taking actions, is above and different from these things? Is n't there is a need for science to acknowledge and accept the existence of this entity 'I'.

Is n't there is a need to include the entity 'I' in our studies, education and research?

What happens at death?

Everyone born has a death.  The intelligent, the idiot, the healthy, the wealthy, the poor, the leader, the follower, etc... All those taken birth dies on one day.  There are people who were cause of great success in the world, who are causes of great movements, causes for upliftment, causes for development and progress, causes for success and failure, causes for distruction etc.  Is all these human being becomes a 'NULL' or 'ZERO' or 'NOTHING' by death?

The science is unable to prove something which "goes off from body" at the time of  death.  Just because science is not able to prove (measure or have physical observation of) any material thing is going off by death, it is not able to accept the existence of the entity 'I'.  

It become quite illogical to consider all the human actions, or the one who was responsible for human action becomes 'ZERO' or just evaporises without any after effect. Is n't the science is not missing something from it's domain of study? Just because science is not able to identify some phyisical thing respossible, does not mean there is nothing. Is n't the science has to enlarge the scope by including the possible existence of this 'I' which is not physically measurable? Is n't the science is facing lot of unanswerable questions because it is not accepting the existence of this entity 'I'.

Is n't science is incomplete with reason, logic and rationalism without the acceptance of an entity 'I' in it's realm of studies?  

Who/what is the cause?

When there is no light, we switch on the light. Who is the cause? It is certainly the one who switch on the light.  It is also the one who created the switch and created the electic wires. It is also the one who created bulb, and one who created electricity network.   It can be seen that it is a human being, or the so called 'I' is a cause of bringing light in darkness.

Who is the cause of elecricity supply? It is supplied by a nuclear reactor or so.   One may initially think that the nuclear reaction as postulated in Einstein's theory causes electicity. The Einstein's theory is true. But it is only a theory. It can exist only in our mind and intelligence. Who is causing the nuclear reactor to operate? The one who switches it on. The one who designed it. The one who constructed it based on specifications of the designer. The one who financed it. The government or the ministry approved the project is also a cause. Don't we see that, there is lot of human beings who are the cause of electricity or nuclear elecricity. The atoms, or electrons and protons etc. are the material cause of nuclear energy. The human beings are also a cause of nuclear energy. Is n't the science misses the major cause of things, which is the 'I's in human beings? Is n't it needed to include this fundamental 'I's as an entity in the scientific studies?

One of the oldest predominant philosophical system (The Nyaya Drshana Shastra) talks about two different types of causes, which are distinctively different. The nyaya darshana shastra is based on logic and reason. It says about three causes for anything, first is the 'material cause' and the second is 'efficient cause' and third is the common cause. Or in other words the (a) the materials from which the subject matter is made up of is called 'material cause' and (b) the cause which is conscious or having life (or the 'I's or atma) is called the efficient cause, and (c) the machinery, tools, time, space etc is called common cause.  The important point is there can be no product or output, without an efficient cause.   The efficient cause is as equally important as material & common causes.  

Is n't the science made a mistake by deviating away from these logical philosphies.  Or what is the reason for avoiding the role of 'I's in the study domain?

Is n't there a need for modern science for including the 'I's within their fundamental research and theories?

Who is the cause?

Recently environment has become the important subject of the world. During the last centuries, massive industrialisation happened throughout the world. The after effect of the same, is that the environmental distruction/pollution by the poisonous byproducts of industries. Who is the cause? Is the environment or the nature itself is the cause? 

Not at all! It is the human who propagated, constructed and operated industries. The one who caused the massive pollution may not be alive now or might have died long back. But the effects are still continuing.  The one who propagated may not even be aware of such outcomes or after effects.  He might have even felt successful during his life time.  Is he also has become a 'NULL' or 'NOTHING' by death?   

Similar is the case of human who caused massive movements, violence, vengeance or wars in the world.  Is he also has become a 'NULL' or 'NOTHING' by death?  Similar is the case of arrogance or ignorance of some influancial or powerful people in the world. There may be lot's of people who are sufferring the after-effects of the foolish actions of people in power/affluance.  Is the human responsible for all these will also become a 'NULL' or 'NOTHING' by death?

Is n't the there is a need to include the 'I's which is the owner of actions in human, also as an entity or subject matter of science? 

Is n't there a lot of missing logic and reason, because, as of now we are not including such entity in our studies and research's?

My first Blogg
Let me be fearless in communication


What is the use of having thoughts in mind.
A thought not shared is equal to no thoughts itself.

It is the speciality of human beings, that they can think and create new thing. Let me have freedom in sharing my view points and thoughts

It is true that, I often concerned about how others will view my thoughts?

I hate being ridiculed and laughed at. Thereofre very cautious in sharing my view points. However, when i thought further, it is clear to me that, i love people, i love welfare of people, i love peace and harmony, i love reason and rationalism. I hate pain, upsets, woriies, misunderstanding, discomforts, bullying, ridiculing, ragging etc. Sometimes i hate jokes as it hurts someone.


The whole world grows in words, flourishes in words. Let me also scrible my thoughts. Sharing of my thoughts may bring liveliness to me and all. Often the profession and social responsibilities are constrained by the duties and responsibilities. There is no agenda in sharing. It may bring forth ease, grace and love. This may be the best contribution i can offer to my fellow beings. This can be the way by which i can get contributed also.
