Are the Modern Hindus logical or blind followers of their ancestors???

Indian Philosophy is based on the concept of divinity of soul. According to this philosophy, God is the supreme soul and souls coming from the divine body of God, enter the damageable bodies.
So, we are actually eternal souls, not the damageable bodies. But we are in ignorance thinking that we are the bodies, not the eternal souls. That is called 'Maya' or illusion due to our ignorance.

Now, if we accept the theory that the soul is eternal, there remains a question why the eternal soul enters the damageable body? Why the perfect entity suddenly discovers itself in the bondage of illusion and starts to assume itself as imperfect???

But if you look at the Indian Philosophy deeply, you can not find any valid answer or explanation of this question which means that there is no proof that the soul is eternal and it is the part of the Supreme Soul.

This issue can be made clear from the writings of Indian Scholar Swami Vivekananda.

***"Why should the free, perfect, and pure being be thus under the thraldom of matter, is the next question.***

**How can the perfect soul be deluded into the belief that it is imperfect?**

We have been told that the Hindus shirk the question and say that no such question can be there. Some thinkers want to answer it by positing one or more quasi-perfect beings, and use big scientific names to fill up the gap. But naming is not explaining. The question remains the same. How can the perfect become the quasi-perfect; how can the pure, the absolute, change even a microscopic particle of its nature? But the Hindu is sincere. He does not want to take shelter under sophistry.

**He is brave enough to face the question in a manly fashion; and his answer is: “I do not know.**

***I do not know how the perfect being, the soul, came to think of itself as imperfect, as joined to and conditioned by matter."***

But the fact is a fact for all that. It is a fact in everybody's consciousness that one thinks of oneself as the body.

The Hindu does not attempt to explain why one thinks one is the body. The answer that it is the will of God is **no explanation.**

***This is nothing more than what the Hindu says, "I do not know.""***

So, it is a blind following of the theology of the Indian ancestors. If you have no valid proof, answer or explanation, why will you believe in a theory???

Ask yourself!!!

If the eternal soul is the part of God, then God will not be the Creator at all, because He will then just transform His own portion, but will have no power to create out of nothing.

That's why Almighty Creator declares,

"Yet have they taken, besides Him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control death nor life nor resurrection."

(The Noble Quran, 25:3)

"Is then He Who creates like one that creates not? Will ye not receive admonition?"

(The Noble Quran, 16:17)

So, about the issues that the soul is not immortal, is just a creation of the Creator and can be destroyed by Almighty's wish, are responsed clearly by the Creator with the expression stated below:

"All that exists on the earth shall perish. Only your Lord, possessed of majesty and honor, shall endure for ever.
So, O jinn and men, which of your Lord's excellences will you deny?"

(The Noble Quran, 55:26-28)
