Just wanted to add that physical death ends our existence of Earth,

and immediately commences life in the Spirit World. It will be just

like waking up from sleep, and finding ourselves in another

dimension. There is no death of our spirit self.

 

i also want to quote from my previous post where i mentioned:

 

" i doubt Shri Mataji literally meant that " we are already resurrected "

because that would be impossible. We have so many defects, unlike the

incarnations, that there is no way we are already resurrected after

Self-realization. i think what She meant to say is that we have

already begun/commenced our resurrection .................. which

will take an entire lifetime to accomplish as more and more strands

of the Kundalini pierce our Sahasraras and open these petals.

Remember, the Sahasrara has 1000 petals and we need to open most, if

not all, after our initial Self-realization. Many may not make it

because the reward of eternal life (moksa) not only requires a daily

remembrance of the Divine and adherence to dharma (righteousness),

but also the innate knowledge of Self-realization itself i.e., we are

divine beings where Brahman/Shakti (God/Holy Spirit) exists within.

(Many religious folks find this hard to comprehend/accept.) So

resurrection actually means opening the 1000 petals of the Sahasrara

Chakra (Kingdom Of God), and will require acquiring substantial inner

knowledge and sustained Silence that greatly accelerates spiritual

growth. This is only possible after years of daily meditation. "

 

It is really very important to understand the above paragraph due to

the following facts:

 

" Formally, the Devi Gita resolves the tension (between the ideal of

devotion and knowledge) by insisting that knowledge of the Goddess is

the final goal of devotion, as well as of dispassion. Devotion

without knowledge will lead to the heavenly paradise of the Goddess,

the Jeweled Island, but no further. Dwelling in the Jeweled Island,

however, inevitably leads to liberating knowledge of the pure

consciousness that is the Goddess. Dispassion without knowledge,

incidentally, leads only to a virtuous birth. The Devi insists that

liberating knowledge can be attained here in this world, while still

living. Seeking such knowledge alone makes life worthwhile, and the

attainment of knowledge completely fulfils the ultimate purpose of

existence. "

So even if we fail during the Last Judgtment and Resurrection the

mere devotion to the Devi ensures the heavenly paradise. Since the

Devi insists that liberating knowledge can be attained here in this

world, while still living, why not strive for it with fearless faith

and joyous conviction and fulfil the ultimate purpose of existence?
