SOME MORE THOUGHTS ON DEATH

[Guest guest]

DEAR FRIENDS,As human beings it is but natural on our part to grieve over the death of somebody, especially, of persons whom we have heard about, or we have known or interacted or with whom we had emotinal ties apart from blood relations. But let us pause here and ponder for a minute. Death is only for the Physical Body which goes back to the five Gross Elements(Pancha Boothas). The Atma has no death. Nor it had a birth. Along with the accumulated Vasanas in the subtle and causal bodies the Atma is choosing another body suited to those Vasanas where it can exhaust them by either

suffering or enjoying. This process of exhaustion of accumulated vasanas might call

for births in several bodies successively. Of course, there is a possibility of adding new Vasanas and that is how the cycle of births and deaths take place. A Sadhaka should stive for Birthlessness by doing appropriate Sadhana and seek the Grace of God for Moksha /Liberation / Self-realization which is THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF OUR LIFE. G.Balasubramanian

Dear Mr Balasubramanyam:

 

What you say, and often said by great philosophers and our great books is all fine to read- but in truth, it is near-impossible for a normal person, unless the person has already become divine.

 

I lost my husband 15 years ago- but time has not ony not healed the pain, it is worse now..

 

Of course we all have our ways to carry on living despite pain..

 

With respect,

Surekha Tenneti Venugopal
