Death in family


If death occurs in the family... does not mean all is lost! Who does not feel the pain?

I will tell you the story of my life... I realized God in 1993. My mother was still alive. Having reached the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi... the whole cosmic wisdom was at my tips.

Daily when I returned from office... I used to find my ailing mother sitting by the side of the main door watching everyone coming in or out. This was her normal routine. My mother was very weak from the beginning. In contrast, she was an extremely pious lady.

One day after returning from office I casually glanced at her. Without flicker in her eyes, I could feel she was conveying some message. I stopped for a moment and looked at her face. She was telling that her time has come to bid goodbye. I knew what it meant. But for someone who has realized God death loses its meaning.

Even though I cared for my mother very much... I went upstairs to my room. Next day also the same thing repeated. Third day also the message conveyed was the same. I bluntly asked her whether she wanted a 10 year increase in her life. I knew that such transfer of age would lessen my life by 10 years. All communication between us was through telepathy (no word was ever spoken).

She sort of internally laughed. Why would a failing body want to live more! The soul atman of my mother conveyed to me that it was on the verge of getting a new body... Why interfere! I could feel the cheeriness within her... the same feeling a child enjoys when promoted to next class. The child knows that on being promoted the mother had promised a new blazer... a new coat! And now the soul of my mother looked forward to a new body!

I also laughed it loud conveying to her that all as destined by God Almighty is for welfare of all. A day later the soul of my mother left the body. The whole family, relatives and friends were badly weeping... I was so happy that now my mother could look forward to a new coat... a new blazer!

Death is to be taken in its stride. No one is prepared for death in advance. It just happens! Make yourself busy in something that is most dear to your heart. When you busy yourself to the extent that you even forget your grandmother at times... you would regain your composure!

Do not forget... you are only thinking of yourself! Why not take the responsibility of the whole family and provide comfort to each one of them. It is only then peace would prevail in the family. May God bless all!

What after Death

After death of body occurs... the soul atman within the body leaves forever. And with the soul atman leaves the residual balance of karma. The death of the body is part of the reincarnation process (also termed rebirth). The dictionary meaning of Reincarnation has been given as rebirth of the soul in another body. Is that true? Yes... it is an absolute truth that the soul reincarnates from one manifestation to another.

Fear of Death
Most living beings fear death for two prime reasons? 1. Fear of the unknown... none wants to tread unknown territory for one does not know what the next manifestation would be? In the face of law... one may be a law abiding citizen but behind the curtain the same human being may be a menace to the society (a wolf in sheep's clothing). One may put up a brave face in the present society and escape the gallows... but what of the judgment day of God Almighty when things would be weighed by the karma performed and not false pretensions.

Death predetermined
Once we are born unto this Earth... nothing remains predetermined! Let me explain - Whether I shall be born in the house of a king or a laborer is determined from the residual balance of karma of all the previous manifestations by our soul atman within. No need to mention that it is our soul atman within that is on its cosmic journey. To shed the impurities within (to remove the dross within) our soul atman manifests body after another.

Life Death Heaven
Death is not something to be scared of. Who shall die... the body or the inner soul atman present within our heart? Why fear something that does not belong to us. Death is for the body. Our soul atman present within our heart is the owner of the body. Who is it that we fear? We have nothing to lose... we are simply a pawn in the hands of God Almighty!
