Common belief is that after one dies soul leaves the body... and then perhaps a rebirth happens.
This leads me to thinking that even if we die our identity remains.. When Amar dies.. There would be a Amar's soul... This looks to me as the fscination of mankind to keep it alive even after death..
What I think is the source of life which exists in living beings.. goes out and merges into the common source of life.. There is no rebirth..
There is a common energy source .. after death there is no Mr X's soul..

Vaibhav, the question is something like, does a snowman exist? First, to determine the course of thinking to arrive at an answer, one has to define the snowman. Since one has no idea what a snowman is, one falls back on one's impression of a snowman which is build by hearsay and imagination. So all the thinking that could otherwise have served to resolve the question will be nipped in the bud by the fact that the question itself is wrongly framed. Similar case with the soul. A more accurate question would be "does anything exist of man after he dies ?" Any answer would be subject to investigation, and one may as well say that since one hasn't died yet it is not possible to answer it "first hand" yet. Yet it can be atleast be said that death would be a transformation - one form changing into another. Surely the answer to a phenomenon of the future must lie in the realm of the present, since all future must come out of the present. So the inquiry into death should rather be an inquiry into life this moment. Therefore, a more useful direction of enquiry would be: "What is it that lives in me right now?" And what is it that prevents me from looking at it directly?
