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
Vaikuntha 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 Vaikuntha (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 23 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!
