Science Identifies Soul. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Consciousness is subjective experience.
The world is two to each individual.
One is the inner world I, who is aware.
The other is the outside i observe.

Consciousness is subject's observation
On object. It's not subject or object.
It is neither matter nor energy too.
It is a third fundamental reality.

Consciousness hence is the non-outcome
Of matter energy combination.
Consciousness is to be nonmaterial
And not to be identified as soul.

The spiritual entity called soul,
Which transcends matter and is the source
Of consciousness according to religions
Is the age old belief, now discarded.

The origins of consciousness lie not
Within the living soul as we assume,
But a by-product of interaction
Of atoms and molecules of matter (tissues)

Our emotions, memory, desire
And the sense of personal identity
Are manifestations of the assembly
Of nerve cells and their associated molecules.

Consciousness isthe single identity.
All creations are its manifestations.
There is no birth and no death to soul,
Which is a single string originated.
