People who argue that Soul does not exist are unaware of the fact that, their own existence is dependent on the Soul, which is in the form of the consciousness.*****.

Buddhism and its relationship with Science is like that of a water and wine, one cannot say there is no water in wine, but when you drink it, it would not be the water but wine... thus Einstein’s view is a water in wine because modern science does not believe in matter but in this religion everything is the matter only. "

Dalai Lama said:  Buddhism need not to be the best religion though it is more scientific and religion and inquisitive. But Buddhism has no answer to certain questions like the existence of Atama (Soul) and rebirth.   Dali Lama said that as an individual he believes in rebirth as he had come across a few cases of rebirth.  Modern science, Dalai Lama hoped would unearth the mystery behind the rebirth. (In DH –dec-212009-Gulburga).

People who argue that Soul does not exist are not aware of the fact that, their own existence is dependent on the Soul, which is in the form of the consciousness.

One should not conclude because some great thinker said so or some philosophy says so. Without consciousness, the mind, which is in the form of universe ceases to exist. Man ceases to exist without the universe. The universe ceases to exist without the Soul, the innermost Self.  The Soul can exist with or without the universe.

The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.  The consciousness is the formless substance and the witness of the mind. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality.

On the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self the birth, life, death, rebirth and reincarnation theory is part of the dualistic illusion.  Your body cannot reincarnate because it is insentient. 

Even in the Buddhism: - Buddhist teaching has itself become a kind of interactive and Self-evolving process, much like its idea of pratityasamutpada. However, the end goal is still Nirvana, which is an experience ultimately beyond all concepts and language, even beyond the Buddhist teachings. In the end, even the attachment to the Dharma, the Buddhist teaching, must be dropped like all other attachments. The tradition compares the teaching to a raft upon which one crosses a swift river to get to the other side; once one is on the far shore; there is no longer any need to carry the raft. The far shore is Nirvana, and it is also said that when one arrives, one can see quite clearly that there was never any river at all.

Chandogya Upanishad: ~ One who meditates upon and realizes the 'Self' discovers that everything in the cosmos-- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantrams and meditation--all come from the Self.

Sage Sri, Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way to discuss or teach. People must first know what they are talking about. (Manduka Karika)

 Buddhism and its relationship with Science is like that of a water and wine, one cannot say there is no water in wine, but when you drink it, it would not be the water but wine... thus Einstein’s view is a water in wine because modern science does not believe in matter but in this religion everything is the matter only"

Sage Sri, Sankara says you must first know what is before you. If you cannot know that, what else can you know or understand? If you give up the external world in your inquiry, you cannot get the whole truth.

Emptiness is the nature of the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. Emptiness is the fullness of the consciousness without the division of the form, time and space.

We have one key from Sage Sri Sankara and to be applied to every statement or assertion or speculations: It is “Is this true?” “Where is the proof?”

Opinions belong to scholasticism, not to Advaitic truth. Advaita has no use for opinions.

By discriminating between the dual (waking or dream) and non-dual (deep sleep) experiences and realize the existence of the formless witness of the coming and going of the three states.   The Soul, the innermost Self is the formless witness of the coming and going of the three states (witnessed).

 On the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self, the three states are nonexistence as reality because the witness and the witnessed are one in essence. That essence is the Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness. Thus, the consciousness is real and all else is unreal.

The Soul, the innermost Self is beyond the form,  time and space.  The Soul, which is present in the form of the consciousness, is the very form of existence, though one would find it difficult to understand because of the intoxication of the illusory duality.

This formless non-dual Soul is beyond the mind.   The Soul, the innermost Self is never subject to any change by any cause, but the waking is subject to change as deep sleep or dream, and when this is realized, then one becomes aware of the fact that, the subject and object are one in essence.

The difference between mind (universe) and Soul (consciousness) is only when one considers the waking entity (ego or you) as the Self.

From the ultimate standpoint, there is no second thing exist other than Soul or consciousness,, because the formless substance and witness of the mind or universe is consciousness.   The mind and Soul are one in essence. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
