00:00If you meet Buddhists, you'll be surprised by how many of them, especially in India, still do believe in personal
00:08rebirth.
00:09Whereas the Buddha makes it clear that there is nobody here to take rebirth.
00:14So all this is not even philosophy, this is just theology.
00:17And to debunk this theology, you don't need an alternate belief system.
00:23All you need is science.
00:25For somebody to go to heaven or hell, there must be somebody inside you.
00:31The question that Vedanta would ask is, for whom is heaven or for whom is hell?
00:36And science today is in a position to answer that.
00:39There is actually nobody inside your body.
00:42There is just the body.
00:44The consciousness that you identify with is actually a product of the body.
00:51It arises with the body and it's gone with the body.
00:55There is nothing that survives the body.
00:58So for whom is heaven and for whom is hell?
01:02It's just a belief system.
01:03And it's an extremely harmful belief system.
01:07I could have said it's just vapid, but it's actually venomous.
01:12Even if you say it's impossible.
01:13Here's a اب Exact Angle Museum.
01:13You are living in reality.
01:14Ah!
01:14The book itself and it's terrifying.
