Briefly,
it can be stated, that if we have the balance of positive merits from zero to
plus hundred we shall be awarded the stage
of Heaven (Swarga) after our "Atman, The soul Within" has left the
mortal frame. However if the balance of merits is between zero and minus hundred
our atman the soul within shall be given a place in hell (Naraka). Heaven (Swarga) and hell (Naraka) are interim stages in the cosmic Life cycle of our atman the soul within. The moment this atman the soul within gets matching parents on Mother Earth... it shall again manifest a body... the body can be that of a Human Being and also of an animal depending upon the balance of merits or demerits possessed by the Atman.
As stated clearly in the Bhagavad Gita... the foremost of all sacred Scriptures (the doctrine dictated by Lord Krishna to King Arjuna in the battlefield of Mahabharata between Pandavas and Kauravas... no atman the soul within can directly gain immortality from Heaven. Lord Krishna is considered as an Avatar (a direct incarnation of God) in Hinduism. He descended on Mother Earth roughly 1000 years before Mahavira, 1077 years before Gautama Buddha, about 1500 years before Jesus Christ and about 1700 years before the advent of Prophet Mohammed.
He was the foremost of all preachers who descended on Mother Earth to pass on to Humanity the cosmic wisdom of the ages... the doctrine by Lord Krishna which his available in Bhagavad Gita contains everything, knowing which every Human Being on its cosmic journey (the journey being undertaken by our atman, the soul within) can gain enlightenment and finally salvation moksha! Every Atman has to finally take the form of a Human Being to gain immortality... in other words salvation (moksha in Hinduism). There is no other path available to our atman the soul within. The form of a Human Being is the highest manifestation in the cosmic Life cycle of our atman the soul within.
In the last about hundred and fifty years only two persons have gained enlightenment and they are Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana.
Before wanting to go to Heaven: Must we not learn the definition of heaven!None
of these Man
Gods directly gained enlightenment and finally immortality direct from
Heaven (Swarga)... it was just not possible. They had to come down to the abode
of Mother Earth and take the form of a Human Being before finally leaving for
the cosmic abode of God... Baikuntha
in Hinduism.
