Question: There is always talk about this world destroying itself; then people become personally alarmed. Would the end of the physical world as we know it be a threat to the soul?

Sri Chinmoy: If the physical world is destroyed, it would not be a threat to the soul, for the soul can stay in the souls' region. But if the soul wants to manifest the divine in all its aspects, then it must incarnate in a human body in the physical world.
