In classical continuum theory of mechanics, my understanding of the idea of continuum is motivated as a fabric with no gaps or holes that spans the three dimensional space. The idea of a body is motivated as a bunch of particles that is given a 'configuration' in this three dimensional space by a 'placer' which varies with time, and hence the idea of motion is motivated as 'a one parameter family of placers, with time being that parameter'. The number of particles inside a body are constant, and hence cannot be destroyed during a 'motion'. In Vedas, aatman is something that is indestructible and pure.  It assumes different bodies with time which could be a human, tree or others forms of life (based on the karma),  in an objectively perceived world until it is realized within its manifestation as a body, and hence breaking the cycle of birth and death. Bunch of particles in mechanics if resemble aatman, then a configuration that these particles assum...

Faith is not only a realization of manifestation of human vulnerabilities called arishadvarga in sanskrit i.e., gluttony, hatred, parsimony, delusory emotional attachment, hubris, and covetousness but also acceptance of the cure for the same within oneself, wherein the idea of God is a mere catalyst facilitating a quantum leap from the former to the latter.
