Today's Times of India carries a report from Jane Goodall, renowned
primatologist, who has observed chimpanzees for 40 years, who feels they
have a soul.

Another report in todays TOI says that Dr. Sam Parnia from England presented
last week a report to California  Instt of Technology, which suggests, based
on studies on a large number of persons, that mind persists after brain
dies. In his words, "human consciousness may work independently of the
brain, using the grey matter as a mechanism to manifest the thoughts, just
as a television set translates waves in the air into picture and sound." I
have no problem understanding this in terms of the well known Hindu concept
of Sukshma sharir and sthool sharir. The former comprises mind and senses
etc. When we die, the brain may perish, but the mind survives, to be
associated with another body, if
rebirth occurs.

The purpose of writing this here is that we humans have
tunnel vision. We can see only to a limited extent. The sukhshma sharir, the
karan sharir and the god can see much farther. These omniscient entities can
see the future as well. Have faith in them. Genuinely believe that some one
else is guiding you into a preordained path that has been predesigned for
you to help you in your [soul's] ultimate journey. So do not despair when
something seemingly untoward  happens to you.

I am sure within next fifty years,  science emanating
from US laboratories will confirm what was written by ancient indian sages.
