QUEST Now imprisoned within closed contour of span of my life. Where to venture on quest ? North- South : East -West ? Or introspecting spiritual consciousness rising above space and time. Neither can surmise not aprehend where to ascend or to descend while transcending death. A big quest, no finding , while confined to breathe in and out ! Reply rolling rippling propagating far away beyond my vision or perception . Out of my reach , a silhouette of 'after life' displaying umbra and penumbra shadowing my journey of life. Me to pass through eclipse as soul , provided it exists and slips to escape from mortal body surpassing demise. Yet the question, which is vital : Is the SOUL really immortal ? If the answer be ' NO' then prime question is superfluous. Death is the final point : Oblivious. No need to explore more. Answer is bold and clear. Query ends here. But eventually, if the answer stands 'YES', then QUEST is endless. Does every living being own a soul ? All Members of Flora and Fauna including Insect World ! Or only specific characteristic of Human species. Living beings are originated from non-living things through evolution. When and from where souls do evolute ? Is there any special hub for Souls to originate or to take rest ? What’s their status ? Escaping from body do they search for new foetus ? Can they choose any special foetus ? Or bound to obey any Cosmic law ! Or to float free as Spirits. Or to be cycled, recycled ! What's the explanation of new formation of Souls keeping parity with inflation in Human population ?
