Query:
What happens to my soul after I am liberated from the cycles of rebirth?
Vijay Kumar:
After
the death of the body... every soul atman manifests a new form... a new journey
of life based on the residual balance of karma of the present and the previous
manifestations! Primarily the soul atman manifests a new form based on the closing
balance of the last manifestation but there are some hidden factors in the cosmic
system.
And
why did God Almighty left some hidden factors in vogue! It was for the simple
reason that the intelligent human being that one is may not manipulate the cosmic
system! Most of the residual balance of karma precipitates once the new manifestation
takes place but a portion of it... the element of Prarabdha karma can manifest
in present life or many manifestations henceforth!
It
is the presence of Prarabdha karma that sometimes results in one winning a sudden
lottery and the other suffering in life for activities not related to the present
manifestation! Overcoming this hidden factor of Prarabdha karma is crucial on
the spiritual path. One needs absolving self of the entire karma before one gains
enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha).
When
the soul atman reaches the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation...
the moment when human beings gain enlightenment and finally salvation... all is
over for the soul atman within! Having regained its original pure pristine form...
devoid of all impurities dross within... the purified soul atman finally gains
entry into the kingdom of God... the abode of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism).
The
abode of God is a point of no return. Every liberated soul atman that has entered
the abode of God can never revert back! It is also clear from the fact that having
drained out all impurities within the purified soul atman need not manifest a
body again! All liberated souls atmans remain in the kingdom of God until dissolution
of the Cosmos occurs.
The
moment dissolution of the Cosmos occurs... the entire size of the Cosmos... the
volume of the Cosmos reduces to the size of half a thumb! This has been made explicitly
clear in the Sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... the doctrine given to mankind
by Lord Krishna in Mahabharata.
Devoid
of all impurities... dross within... the cluster of all purified souls atmans
just occupies the volume of half a thumb! And what is this half a thumb? This
half a thumb is what we call God Almighty in its prime pure state. Unable to contain
itself for long in its prime pure state... this cluster of purified souls' atmans...
God Almighty again explodes with a big bang to create a new cosmos... a new journey
of life!
Until the dissolution
of the Cosmos occurs... all purified souls atmans remain in Baikuntha (kingdom
of God). Human beings on Mother Earth can invoke these celestial powers... the
enlightened liberated souls as and when required. If we desire blessings of any
enlightened soul like Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa... it is quite possible to invoke
the power of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and seek its blessings!
Let
me illustrate this point by an example-
On
the spiritual path... in search of God one-day we were having a discussion in
the house that people around 3000 years back had a height of above 8 feet. Being
a Jain we were discussing about the times of Lord Parshvanatha... the 23rd Tirthankara
of Jainism!
One-day
while bathing in absolutely pure circumstances... it just happened that the celestial
form of Parshvanatha energized before me. The inner voice... the voice of my soul
atman told me that the energy form I was visualizing belonged to Lord Parshvanatha.
This was made possible as I had been concentrating rather meditating on Lord Parshvanatha
for long.
This
energized image of Lord Parshvanatha remained for about five seconds and then
vanished. The moment one single impure thought entered my brain... the form of
Lord Parshvanatha vanished from my view! Until the time I remained absolutely
pure... I could visualize the form of Lord Parshvanatha.
And
what did the image of Lord Parshvanatha convey? The head of Lord Parshvanatha
touched the ceiling of my bathroom that was 7 feet in height. The message had
been conveyed... during the times of Lord Parshvanatha about 3000 years back the
height of people were about 7 feet! Unique are the ways of God Almighty... I am
truly blessed having realized God in 1993!
Maintaining
purity as a human being is the foremost of all requirements on the spiritual path.
Following the path of truthfulness all the time paves way for full awakening of
the Kundalini! Practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period of 12 years in
continuation is another essential ingredient on the spiritual path... devoid of
which full awakening of the Kundalini never occurs.
If
we truly desire gathering the pearls of wisdom contained in the Sacred Bhagavad
Gita of Hinduism... we need to travel the spiritual path truthfully and sincerely.
The sweet small inner voice of our soul atman that seems to come from within our
heart always guides us on the right path. Following the path of absolute truthfulness
one can distinctly hear the voice of the soul atman... the real truth of us!
