According to the law of karma, every action has a reaction. Suffering is often the result of past actions, either in this life or previous ones. However, it is not merely punishment; it serves as an opportunity for spiritual growth, learning, and detachment from the temporary material world.

While material science deals with matter, the soul is anti-material or spiritual. Its presence is inferred through consciousness, which cannot be explained solely by chemical reactions. The difference between a living body and a dead body is the presence of the soul. Vedic science offers methods like yoga and meditation to directly perceive the self beyond the body.

God is not invisible; rather, our eyes are not qualified to see Him in His spiritual form. Just as we cannot see microbes without a microscope or radio waves without a receiver, we need spiritual vision (prema-chakshu) developed through devotion to perceive Krishna. However, He is visible through His energies, His deity form (archa-vigraha), and His holy name.

The Vedas accept evolution of consciousness, not just bodies. The soul transmigrates through 8.4 million species of life, evolving from aquatics to plants, animals, and finally humans. The human form is the peak of this evolution because it offers the unique ability to inquire about the Absolute Truth and attain liberation.

True spirituality requires immense strength to control the senses, conquer the ego, and act selflessly in a world driven by exploitation. It is an act of courage to seek truth beyond comfortable illusions. While some may use religion for comfort, the path of Bhakti (devotion) is a rigorous science of self-realization practiced by great intellectuals and warriors throughout history.
