The symptoms of the soul are not just consciousness but also personality. Do you know of any individual consciousness particle that doesn’t exhibit it in one form or another individuality in inherant within the soul .
Even a particular tiny fish within an aquarium will exhibit particular ways of responding to circumstances and humans much more so than another of the group who dwell within the tank .
The human being is a special benediction granted by naterial nature , and much can be achieved by using the special intelligence in the correct ways .We should not become like a sophisticated animal. Direct communication with Divinity says every theological text is possible. The methods of communication are clearly outlined.
Human beings must first overcome the lower animalistic traits described as lower modes of nature but summarised as lust , anger , greed , envy , and general illusion . Imperfect senses , cheating , mistakes, and bewildered consciousness affect the material personalities who are entrapped within the body and mind and identity with it .
Our original pure personality , full of a blissful, non envious, and loving nature , can be experienced within the highest realms of existence wherein Divinity and trancendental personalites dwell . The goal of life proper is to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His associates . They had many times previously descended to these earthly planes and left records and instructions as well as knowledge of themselves . The Vedas have extensive records as well as recent commentaries.
The process of a purificatory lifestyle and the therapeutic endeavours are all contained within the Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad Gita . The real purpose of human life is to throw off the mud of conditioned life .
New age philosophical and psychological quacks are misguiding many and adding more and more mud like substances that cover the original pure personality . Replacing authentic sastra or theological sciences with pseudo psychological teaching in the name of liberalisation and freedom is foolhardy.
One should return to the trancendental ways and the traditions of family values that chalk out the progressive and the well trodden paths of the elevated saints along with their followers.
In introducing modern multicultural liberalisation of societies , we must look out for extremes that do more harm than good , although their intentions may have been to overcome many other types of misunderstandings and applications of traditions , but one should learn from authentic sources. The Vedic Way is the balanced way with the true intelligensia at its heart .
