Query: Why Atman gets separated from Parmatman? Is our Atman an individual personality?
After self realization we will get purified and unite with GOD, does this mean that we loose our identity
individuality?
Vijay Kumar:
The answer to your query is simple... yet, difficult to comprehend! Every
soul atman gets separated from Parmatman (God Almighty) the moment big bang occurs. And how is every soul
atman and Parmatman (God Almighty) connected with the big bang? If we try and understand the entire cosmic
structure, it is god Almighty... the cluster of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos at a given point of
time that explodes itself with a big bang to form a new cosmos... a new journey of
life!
The occurrence of the big bang is not in the hands of God Almighty... it
simply happens! Why? As per the Sacred Bhagavad Gita... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna... the
moment dissolution of the old cosmos occurs... the entire cosmos that consists of many universes reduces to
the size of half a thumb! And what is this half a thumb?
This half a thumb... the volume of all purified souls atmans in the
Cosmos after the dissolution of the entire cosmos has occurred is what we know as God Almighty! In simpler
words the definition of God Almighty is the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the Cosmos at a given
point of time! Devoid of all impurities within... every soul atman at the time of dissolution having reached
the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... gains absolute purity!
All purified souls atmans in the Cosmos at the time of dissolution simply
occupy the volume of the size of half a thumb! No sooner this happens... this unbound cosmic power...
celestial energy much beyond the comprehension of human beings unable to contain itself for long in its prime
pure state again explodes with a big bang... giving rise to a new cosmos... a new manifestation of life! The
big bang explosion results in creation of a new cosmos altogether!
Does it mean the big bang occurrence happens when God Almighty explodes
himself... yes, the truth is so! Bhagavad Gita the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism is absolutely clear on
that. The explosion of the big bang results in all purified souls atmans hurtling down their cosmic sojourn
at unlimited speeds. As the rolling ball gathers moss... the hurtling souls' atmans also gather impurities on
the way!
To cleanse themselves of the impurities within... every soul atman is
required to manifest a cycle of 8.4 million manifestations... an earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years!
And starts the cosmic sojourn of every soul atman! The moment life supporting planets like Mother Earth form
in the Cosmos... every soul atman manifests one form after another.
Initially the soul atman manifests the form of an amoeba (single cell
formation)... The first manifestation in the cosmic life cycle! It further evolves into multi-cell formation,
then insect life, plant life, animal life and finally the form of human beings! Before reaching the human
stage the soul atman has already manifested a series of 7.3 million manifestations.
In the human form alone we have 1.1 million manifestations... an earthly
life cycle of 12.4 million years to reach the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation
(moksha)! Right from the inception of the cosmic journey in the life of a soul atman... the entire journey of
96.4 million earthly years is one single span of life!
Only when perceived from the senses point of view... the cosmic system
appears broken! On the spirituality front... the entire life of the soul atman is one continuous journey! The
individuality of every soul atman right from the start of the life cycle to the end (the 8.4 millionth
manifestation) keeps intact! In the cosmic system life is always governed by the doctrine of
karma!
As is the karma performed... accordingly shall be the next manifestation!
If the residual balance of all previous manifestations demand the soul atman manifesting a form in the house
of a laborer... it simply cannot manifest the form of a Prince in next life! In the house of God it is our
soul atman that is governing... the master and controller of the body and not vice versa!
It is our soul atman that has manifested the body to work out its
karma... remove the dross impurities within! It is not within the capability of the body to manifest a soul
atman! The individuality always belongs to the soul atman and never the human being... the body! Body after
body... manifestation after manifestation the life cycle of the soul atman continues
uninterrupted!
The moment human beings gain enlightenment (aka self realization) it is
all over for the soul atman within! Having reached the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the liberated soul
atman finally regains its original pure pristine form. This liberated soul atman after salvation (moksha)
finally gains entry into the abode of God... the kingdom of God (aka Vaikuntha in Hinduism).
The kingdom of God... the house of God is a point of no return! Having
reached absolute purity... the soul atman finally rests in the kingdom of God (Vaikuntha in Hinduism). Devoid
of all impurities within the purified soul atman need not manifest a body again. It is only when the big bang
occurs and starts a new cosmos... all the purified souls atmans restart on their cosmic journey... an
altogether new chain of life!
As a human being we must always remember... we have only one life to
live! Who knows what we shall be in the next manifestation... why not travel the spiritual path now! The
individuality of the human being in the present sojourn is limited to present life only. Even though every
phase of life is connected for the soul atman within... but different phases of life... the manifest forms
are not directly linked!
The prime reason why we do not remember our past... nor we know of our
future! If we realize it is our soul atman that has manifested the body and not us who have manifested a soul
atman... we would ultimately realize that the individuality truly belongs to the soul atman and not the
body... the form of human beings!
Also the status of every individual soul is like parts of a puzzle. The
completed puzzle is God Almighty and the individual piece of a puzzle... an individual soul atman! The moment
a child identifies the piece of a puzzle... he fits the same into the puzzle completing the whole puzzle
piece by piece!
As human beings gain enlightenment one after another... the entire puzzle
keeps on completing! The moment all beings on Mother Earth and in the whole Cosmos reach 8.4 millionth
manifestation... the entire puzzle completes! God Almighty regains its original pure pristine form... the
size of half a thumb! It is time for big bang to occur... a new journey of life!
