Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 hi everybody...I NEED ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS!!! if at all anybody has time to unveil these mysteries of life after death,im very keen discussing. what happens to the soul after death?i read couple of articles which state that the soul travels the inner circles of cosmos and thus is decided which form its going to take.my doubt is when everything is decided why talk of karma? i read many posts on this group,and when everything is predictable whats the point talking of karma,pap and punya,when everythings is decided as if nothing is in ur hands.things happen as they have been decided for u...so why are we are neither doing a good deed or comitting a sin,since we are living the way its already decided by the Guy up there who writes our fate.why admire or despise someone for what they are?even if someone shows miraculous strengths ,he is still written that he/she are born with so and so qualities. so whats the meaning of this life and strife when everything is decided.it has nothing to do with our beliefs and faith.a person whos destined to be a great man will be,a person whos destined to live ordinary life will do...theres only an illusion created that we are striving,but theres no strife from us-the humans since we are mere robots designed under Him. so everything falls to zero...nothingness.and that seems so meaningless cause i never find answers to these questions.its like creating a pot of gold all life which is going to turn to dust some day,cause nothing remains.why happiness or frustrations or satisfaction,nothing has any meaning since everything is decided.we are not really doing anything.the whole cycle looks weird to me.pls explain anybody?what is the meaning of this life when every action is decided.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Namaskaar Sri A##D I will try and explain in very simple words and without jargons. Everything is not predestined. Actions we do, Results Lord Gives. The current destiny is based on previous actions. The current actions make future destiny as per Lord's given results. Here Lord means Time, Nature, and everything that is beyond our control. The choice to proact or react is given to you. In Sanskrit it is called Purushartha. Those who react strengthen the hold of karmas on them, those who proact or not react, loosen the hold of karmas. Your responsibility is full towards your destiny as far as action is concerned. Now to your first question, what happens to soul after death? We can use "inference" as a means of knowledge here or "Tradition" as a means of knowledge here. Life means "no death". Can then there be death to "no death"? Life goes on and only the body is dropped. Like the body drops to day clothes to wear a nightsuit at night, similarly for the fulfillment of other karmas as decided by the lord, the subtle body (loosely call it mind) drops the body and its memory to go to the next body. This is know how through inference. Inference also suggests, that the potential energy of desires cannot extinguish itself into nothingness. Therefore, it has to remain in some form and carry out its expression. Action is possible only through a physical body. So it is infered that the soul takes up a new body. The traditional texts explain in their own way and you can refer to them as well.
