Life after Death what comes after death

Life after Death

What after death... is there any continuity of the present manifestation or all is over after the death of the body. Truthfully speaking all ends with the death of the body in the present manifestation! Whatever is carried onto the next life is the balance of karma which is a property of our soul within.

We should always remember that it is our soul (aka atman in Hinduism) that has manifested the body and not vice versa. The journey of the body was limited to the present manifestation only. Whatever one has physically gained in the present manifestation... all would be left behind.

The residual balance of karma from the present manifestation after the death of the body gets transferred to the next manifestation through the process of karma. In the cosmic system the doctrine of karma plays a vital role. It is only karma through which the balance of the present manifestation could be transferred to the next life.

Whatever the balance of karma of the present life... accordingly shall be the next manifestation. If the balance of karma demands that one should be born in the house of a cobbler in the next manifestation then it is not possible for the sole atman within to manifest a form of life in the house of a King.

This process of reincarnation (aka rebirth in Hinduism) continues as a chain reaction. As per Hinduism sacred scriptures and the Bhagavad Gita... every soul requires a total of 8.4 million manifestations before it gets liberated from the cycle of birth and death. This requires a cosmic travel of 96.4 million earthly years.

The travel of soul as per Hinduism scriptures and Bhagavad Gita is a confirmed process. The existence of the soul atman within our body is the real essence of life. The prime reason why it is stated that the fruits of our karma belongs to the soul within!

Whatever karma is performed by the physical manifest form... all the fruits are proprietary of our soul atman residing within our heart. After the death of the body... whatever is the residual balance of karma... it shall become the opening balance of the next manifestation.

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!

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.
