Balance of Realities - Man revived dead human being and created an artificial human being
Man revived dead human being and created an artificial human being

Divine power manifests from man in the form of knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, a wise religious person should not be astonished at the inventions and discoveries of this advanced scientific and atomic age. Nor should he harbour any doubt in his heart about the Divine law or consider that such and such work belongs to God only, which none other than He can do, for instance, reviving a dead human being or creating a human being, etc. It is possible that as a result of the effects of the thoughts which are created in the simple-minded, religious people when hearing about such astonishing events that they might feel a kind of weakness within themselves or their nation. If this really happens, it will be an inferiority complex, which can be removed either by attaining the thing which they see from afar with great astonishment, or by acquiring knowledge by which they will come to know that behind the veil of every success there is God's hand.
Here my subject is to investigate the “possibility of reviving a dead person”. Since we want to investigate the possibility or impossibility of this in the light of the reality of his physical life and death, therefore, it is necessary first to describe briefly, how the initial physical life of man begins.
In the body of every human being with sound senses, the soul works on three levels: in the lowest, the vegetative soul, in the middle the animal soul and in the highest, the rational soul. The centre of the vegetative soul is the liver. It is responsible for the growth of the body and to it belong all those faculties that complete the body of a child in the beginning. The centre of the animal soul is the heart, which is responsible for the senses and movement. The centre of the rational soul is the brain to which belong speech, understanding, knowledge and art. Because these three souls reside in the same body, they affect each other. Among them, the rational soul, due to its characteristics and actions, transforms vegetable into animal, animal into human being and human being into angel and enables him to attain union with God. The example of this is found in the creation of the body and in the completion of the soul. All those characteristics of man, which are not found in any animal, belong to the rational soul. Further, it is the rational soul that has refined the faculties of the vegetative and the animal souls in the human body.
The three above-mentioned souls transmit [their] united life in the human body in the order that first of all, a mixed quintessence of human blood (i.e. sperm and ovum) resides in the womb, which contains the essential and material effects of all of them (i.e. the three souls). In other words, the rational and the animal souls exist potentially and the vegetative soul exists in actual form in this drop, just as in a seed, for example, there is the capacity or potential of growing a tree of its kind, or in a bird’s egg a bird of its kind.
The body is created from a constant flow of a certain quantity of blood into the womb of a woman from her breasts, by which the vegetative soul completes its creation. At the end of four months, the dormant animal soul awakens in the body of the human foetus, for now, its organs and limbs need some movement, so that the muscles may strengthen and the joints have elasticity to twist and turn. The main reason for the subsistence of the animal soul on the vegetative soul after four months is that during this time the vegetative soul reaches the limit of equilibrium of its nature. That is, almost the subtlety or the fineness of the animal soul is created in it, due to which the latter receives strength and awakens. It is like a combustible material, which, when it is moist, does not catch fire, but when it is dried on the fire for a while it ignites.
The natural equilibrium of the vegetative soul, which cannot be created in a tree or a plant, comes into being through the help of those organs of the human body that were completed for the blood circulatory system. Now, if scientists have come to know about the science and the system according to which the dot of soul or sperm is nurtured in the womb of its mother and can keep the things around it intact, in the same way as they are in the natural condition, then the possibility of creating a man by nurturing sperm in a particular machine is certain. But in no way can they dispense with the Divine power in creating a thing. That is, they have succeeded only in nurturing a tiny subtle human being before its time, i.e. they can bring it forth before nine months. This shows that the survival of the animal soul depends on the vegetative soul’s equilibrium and its annihilation or death is caused by its absence. Similarly, the physical survival of the rational soul depends on the equilibrium of the animal soul and its physical annihilation is its absence. The question now arises, on whose equilibrium does the survival of the vegetative soul depend? The answer is that the survival of the vegetative soul depends on the equilibrium of diet in which water, air, etc., are included. If the vegetative soul lacks this equilibrium for any reason, the animal soul swoons and becomes silent for a while, which in turn, causes the rational soul to fall into a dormant state. Now the weakness of these three souls is greater than on the first day they were in the mother's womb, because that weakness was moving towards perfection by attaining nourishment, whereas now they are vanishing due to the lack of natural heat and breathing etc. At this time the soul, in a real sense, has not yet left the body.
Now, if this dead [like] person is treated appropriately in time, by an injection that provides the substance of the animal soul, or by an effective medicine, which awakens this dormant soul, and all the three souls attain united strength from each other, then he can be revived. Just as in a machine, the movement of a specific part helps to move other parts and their movement, in turn, helps this part. However, this is possible only if there are still vitamins and organic strength in this dead-like body. Otherwise, it is not possible. In all these matters however, God’s will is supreme. The source of whatever man does is that which God prepares.
