The mystery of Sri Aurobindo, physical immortality

[Guest guest]

Pranams,

 

Forgive me, I'm new to Sri Aurobindo. He was trying to

(or did ?) achieve physical immortality? I am trying

to understand the appeal of this. I actually just had

lunch today with a friend who has signed up to be

cryogenically (not sure about spelling) frozen, and

reanimated later. The contract he signed said that

they will unfreeze and "reanimate" him once they have

to technology to reverse the aging process!

 

So I was hearing this and banging my head against the

table, lol, and wondering what could be so attractive

about physical immortality? Why would anyone want to

stay here on the physical plane? The maya around here

is so thick we can't see our way home! We have to cry

and demand God to come and get us! As least us bhaktas

do....

 

So my question is this, and it's a big one; After the

physical body dies, if the soul knows the body will be

"reanimated" later, what can it do? Surely it cannot

reincarnate? Does it hang around the body waiting to

see what happens? This sounds awful to me. I want to

go home to Her. If I need to come back, I'll keep

comin' until I have business elsewhere but this

freezing and reviving the body after death, is it

messing with the plan? Is it the plan? What happens to

the soul? If we could have physical immortality, would

the desire for it make the possibility of moksha

obsolete? I'm confused....

 

love and pranams,

Brianna
