Query:
Something about Life after death! Can we communicate with the atmans (souls) of
our near and dear ones?
Vijay
Kumar:
Life after
death is the most queried question on the Internet. Why?
Why
the subject life after death carries so much curiosity? Is it because the death
of a loved one makes the basic instinct in every human being come alive? Firstly,
we desire to establish a contact with the departed soul. Secondly, there always
remains a query as to what will happen to us after our death!
Shall
we come back again and manifest another body or the life ends itself within this
life! This query of life after death disturbs every single human being on mother
earth. The prime reason that we work day and night to accumulate materialistic
riches and in the end part of life everything remains behind... is absolutely
disturbing. We become wise in the field of our study and in a stroke of fate all
would become useless. Why?
Why do we continue slogging on without ever contemplating upon the subject of
life after death? Why can not every individual human being live like JRD Tata...
a Karma Yogi par excellence!
In
his lifetime JRD Tata never built a house for himself... what to say of worrying
for the next life! He may or may not have believed in the continuity of life after
death but one thing was absolutely clear to him. And that was, "we have only got
only one life to live"! He truly lived this life to its best.
JRD
Tata was an exemplary in the fact that he lived like a true trustee of God. He
believed that everything owned by the Tata Empire truly belonged to God. And he
was only a mere trustee in the hands of God. His only duty was to act as the maintainer...
a true trustee on behalf of God and see to it that whatever has been placed in
his charge never dips in value.
As a true trustee JRD Tata had no worries at all. As everything belonged to God...
according to JRD the worries also belonged to God. And why should he worry on
behalf of God. Whether there existed life after death or not... nothing mattered
to him! What mattered to him most in present life was caring for the objects placed
in his custody by God Almighty.
As
a true custodian of God JRD Tata lived like a true Karma Yogi. He may or may not
have known or believed in the doctrine of Bhagavad
Gita but practicing the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita every moment of his
life was his forte. He truly lived like a king... one who had the direct blessings
of God Almighty.
The
present scion of the Tata Empire... Ratan Tata is almost in contradiction to the
beliefs of JRD Tata. Ratan Tata feels that everything owned by the Tata Empire
belongs to him. And in taking care of things as a manager... he is losing the
true essence of life. The life as was truly lived by JRD Tata is completely missing
in Ratan Tata.
In the doctrine of the trustee and the onlooker relationship (God Almighty has
been considered as an onlooker for he never interferes at any stage in the creation
of his) one thing is explicitly clear. And the message that we are not supposed
to delve into the question of life after death is very clear... for it is beyond
the control of normal human beings to do so!
What
our next manifestation maybe would never be told to us by God. Such a thing never
exists in the system of God. Why? If I were ever to know that my best friend in
present life was responsible for my death in one of my earlier manifestations...
how would it affect my present relationship with my best friend! Probably I would
be after his blood all the time. After all... accountability has to be there!
This is where God
forbid human beings to know about their past or the future lives. It is only very
accomplished sages and Saints who are sometimes able to look into the past and
the future of human beings. This faculty demands that it not be misused for any
commercial purposes lest the power gets withdrawn by God Almighty.
Of
all the things one very pertinent question remains and that is whether the atmans
(souls) of the departed beings rotate nearby the family they have already manifested
into. Yes, it is not only a possibility but a confirmed fact. Why?
As
per theory of karma... every individual Atman soul which is bonded to any other
Atman soul is likely to manifest in the same family. The reason that it is the
only way that these two atmans (souls) can work out their Karma and neutralize
it for ever! This neutralization of Karma is the biggest asset of mankind. Whoever
understands the philosophy is a true master of spirituality.
The bonding
Karma aka klesha in Jainism and Hinduism is the governing factor in the cosmic
system of God Almighty. As long as there is the balance of klesha between two
atmans (souls)... it is but not possible for these two Atmans to escape each other.
They have to manifest into the same family again and again until this bonding
klesha is altogether negated.
It
is most likely that our dying grandfather or the grandmother may be reborn as
a child of the daughter or the son in the family. Only then the continuity of
life in the cosmic system of God can be maintained. However, for one to know the
true identity of life in the previous life has been forbidden by God for ever.
This cannot be...
every individual human being has been prohibited to look back into the past or
the future to know the identity of life as it existed then or it may exist further
on. We come across many instances in life when we sometimes feel so much bonded
to the newly born child. We fail to understand that he or she, the newly born
child was our mother or the close relative who met accidental premature death
in earlier life.
Like the fragrance of a flower or the presence of God which cannot be seen by
the physical senses but can always be felt... the same atman having manifested
into the family can be directly experienced by those who really cared for the
departed soul.
Further
on if two atmans (souls) bond to each other and develop a klesha of the order
that nothing can separate them then, it is most likely that the relationship would
continue in the lives to come. It need not necessarily be the old relationship
but the relationship as such would continue.
It
is possible that a husband and wife truly attached to each other in present life
after separation may rejoin as mother and son, daughter and father, mother and
daughter or father and son. It can be any relationship for that matter.
Sometimes we may have
observed that the grandson is deeply attached to the grandfather or the grandmother.
It is only possible based on logical conclusions that the relationship has extended
beyond the past manifestation. It is only the relationship of the past
life which has flowered into the present life.
As
we have been prohibited to look into the past or the future... we must contend
with the present life and live life like a true Karma Yogi... one as lived by
JRD Tata, a Karma Yogi par excellence. In following these dictates of God we are
inherently following whatever is expressed in the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita put
forward by Lord
Krishna.
Life
goes on and on and we are not supposed to get affected by the departing of souls
in the family. Memories sometimes do disturb us but so is the system built by
God Almighty. As we are not supposed to interfere in the affairs of his (the God
Almighty)... trying not to approach Tantrics for knowing the truth of the past
manifestations is the best solution.
Every atman soul manifests a body based on theory of karma. As comes the time
to depart nothing... not even God Almighty would interfere! We feel bereaved but
then a new hope... a new life gets generated in the process. Time is the best
healer. Why? Simply because it is only with time that all matters would come to
rest. Time is the best healer for all anxieties!
The
seven birth relationships between a husband and wife or even promises of spending
thousands of lives together is only merely a saying. Who is our husband in present
life may become the wife of someone another... Maybe in the immediate next manifestation!
Who knows what? Why worry of the future when we do not have powers even to control
our present.
Taking
control of destiny is possible only for the chosen few. JRD Tata was one of them.
He lived life on his own terms. He never settled for anything less than hundred
percent perfection. This man of steel will cherish the hearts of many Indians
for times to come... he was one of the best examples of how life is supposed to
be lived.
Never
brooding into the past or the future must be our forte... this is what Lord Krishna
taught us in his famous doctrine of Bhagavad Gita. We must always remember that
everything belongs to God and every living Jiva nay every human being is but an
instrument in the hands of God. We only have to live life as a true trustee. Only
then we can live like a king.
Brooding
into the issue of life after death is just prohibited by Bhagavad Gita. The wounds
inflicted upon us by the sudden departure of our loved one maybe deep but time
shall heal everything. Why brood into the past or the future and spoil the present!
Why worry at all about life after death!
We
must all live a kings life... this is what the doctrine of Bhagavad Gita teaches
us all.
