    My friend Gopala, I hope you are an Indian. Indian Vedic philosophies are just incomparable to any of the world. Because the other western philosophies are based imagination but the Indian Vedic philosophies like Vedanta, Samkhya, Nyaaya, are based on realization. If you try to read and understand under the guidance of a Guru, you are bound to realise.

    Yes, science and scientific theories really deal with matter and the materialistic world. These have invented or discovered nothing other Food, comfort, fear and creativity. These are related to our body which will perish. But science has never tried to search about the soul/consciousness/PRAN for whose absence we consider the material body dead.

    Don't listen the other posters who simply say the only way to answer and delve into such theories is through imagination.

    Personal experience (referring to you) will lead you to your answers. Yes, imagination plays a huge part, but if you aren't the "creative" type, how can you possibly expect to come to a realization of that which you seek?

    I would advise talking to people to gather their perspectives, but take it for what it is, not truth. Everyone has different opinions on everything, and don't be influenced by any one person. Take it the different options and opinions that are out there, and use them to fuse together your own opinion.

    No mechanism is available for spiritual things, like conscience, soul and God only belief works if one have second is logic. For example- why science has not find out anything about universe, life, God and soul coz it applies to material things only and not to spiritual matters. One must ask a question to himself, why we can't manage a family properly, who is managing the entire universe? Why our appearances won't resemble? why our finger prints differs? why each plant has different colours and different flowers. How there are various type of creatures on land and water who is developing these different types. There are so many thing for which we have no answers as they are spiritual and not material. Thanks.

    You have to go deep down within yourself, holding on to the 'I', detaching yourself from the feeling of the body, your mind, your knowledge.

    Just hold on to the sense of 'I' to the exclusion of everything.

    You will reach the core of your existence. You may call it God.
