The soul's original constitutional position is that of being eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss. But in material condition of life, the soul's artificial position is reflected which is temporary (death), ignorance (lack of spiritual knowledge) and full of miseries (birth, death, old age, disease). It is not that the acceptance of soul is awkward, but actually the denial of soul and its eternal relationship with Supersoul is awkward. To realise the eternal relationship with the Supersoul is the process to cure the disease. There are three steps described: sambandha, abhideya and prayojana. i.e relationship with supreme Lord, what is the method to revive that relationship and the real goal of life.
The Vedic scriptures are not mythological. They describe Science, Physics, Mathematics (so-called Pythagoras theorem is already metioned in our scriptures. complicated mathematical calculations are already present)., Medicine etc PLUS it they also describe that which is beyond our perception, i.e the Super science of soul. Which other material book in this entire world contains such a gem of knowledge?
To forget ones relationship with Supreme is the diseased condition of the soul. To attempt to revive that relationship is to cure the disease. To deny the existence of God and Supersoul is to increase the diseased condition. To deny the existence of God and His part and parcels is itself foolish.
